Joel Vaughn begins his seventh season as a head baseball coach.  Coach Vaughn spent the last six years as the Head Baseball Coach at Barnwell High School in Barnwell, S.C.  During his tenure in Barnwell, Vaughn amassed an overall record of 93-63.  He won 4 Region V-AA Championships and 3 District V-AA Championships during that six year period.  Vaughn was named Region Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.  Vaughn’s overall region record during that period was 52-12.  Coach Vaughn also served as assistant head coach of the Orangeburg American Legion team in 2007.

Coach Vaughn is a graduate of Emerald High School where he played for Coach Chad Evans.  Joel also played American Legion Baseball for Post 20 while in high school.  Vaughn continued his education at Lander University where he played his freshman year for Coach Rusty Stroupe.  During his junior and senior years at Lander, Vaughn assisted Coach Evans with the Emerald Viking baseball program.  Vaughn teaches social studies at Brewer Middle School.  He also holds a master’s degree in educational administration from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. 

Vaughn is married to the former Bain Wrenn of Hilton Head Island and they have two boys, Wylder Ryan age 3 and Bowers Reece “Bo” age 1.  Coach Vaughn prides himself in developing relationships with his players that will extend well past the days on the diamond.  Several of his former players are now at the collegiate level and one former player is already a high school head baseball coach.  Vaughn’s primary objective for the Eagle program will be to develop the players physically and mentally through conditioning and drills that will prepare them to compete on a state level.  “I want the players to understand that we are investing in them and for success to come, each player has to buy-in to our program and accept the discipline it takes to become winners.”
