Ste. Genevieve High School Appoints Becky Keim As New Softball Coach

(Ste. Genevieve) The Ste. Genevieve high school softball team has found its new leader. Becky Keim was named head coach for the Dragons on May 18th replacing long-time coach Russell Toombs. Keim has acquired a treasure trove of experience through the years, having won a state high school championship with Oakville then playing at division one Southern Illinois for an all-time great coach in Kerri Blaylock, so she is ecstatic about the opportunity to lead the Dragons…

While playing under Blaylock at SIU, Keim learned the benefits of being a blue-collar worker and plans to bring that work ethic to Ste. Genevieve…

Keim hasn’t wasted any time instilling those values upon her team. It hasn’t even been a month on the job yet she’s already begun offseason training…

Keim takes over a team that won a school-record 16 games last season but the new coach wants to set the bar even higher…

The Dragons finished last season with a record of 16-9 but lost to Potosi in the Class 2 District 3 Tournament.
