Lebanon softball coach Chris Spurlock resigned on Thursday.
Spurlock spent one season at the helm of the program. He will be entering the private sector.
“Leaving Lebanon High School was a terribly tough decision and not something I was looking to do,” Spurlock said. “I had to make the decision that was best for my family.”
The Devilettes placed fourth in District 9-AAA during the regular season this spring. Lebanon improved on its 2015 record of 12-16 by compiling a 25-18-1 mark in 2016, suffering a 9-8, extra-inning loss to Beech to also place fourth in the District 9-AAA Tournament.
Lebanon lost five seniors to graduation – Sarah Aubuchon, Hannah Simmons, Brooke McClendon, Shelby Jones and Kayla Beal.
The Devilette program hasn’t advanced to the regional tournament since 2007. Two teams from each district move on to the regional level.

Lebanon will have its sixth softball coach over a seven-year span, though Monica Braswell, who was hired in 2013, left for another teaching position before ever coaching a game for the Devilette program.
