Megan Cory is the new head coach of the Shelbyville High School softball program.
The 2012 Shelbyville graduate played collegiately at IUPUI and has served as an assistant coach with the Golden Bears for several seasons.
Cory’s hiring was approved at Wednesday’s Shelbyville Central Schools board meeting. She replaces Mark Hensley, who announced his intention to step down as head coach following Shelbyville’s 4-1 loss to Mooresville in the IHSAA regional championship game on May 30.
Hensley (photo, second from left), the most successful softball coach in SHS history – 145-56 since 2016, led the program to four sectional championships in the last six seasons and the Class 4A semistate championship game in 2022.
Cory (photo, with trophy), a high school pitcher at Shelbyville, played four seasons at IUPUI and started 51 games as a senior outfielder/utility player. She hit .250 with five home runs and 20 runs batted in during the 2015 season.
After graduation, Cory returned to Shelbyville and opened Score First Softball Academy where she gives private softball lessons to area youth.
