The administration of East Henderson High School has named Daniel Corhn the new head baseball coach for the Eagles, effective immediately. Corhn is presently serving as the head junior varsity football coach, and assistant baseball coach at East.

Corhn is taking control of the baseball program at East with five years of experience coaching the Eagles; he’s been the assistant baseball coach for five years, is in his fifth season coaching junior varsity football, and served as junior varsity baseball coach for three years.

Born and raised in Henderson County, Corhn grew up watching his mother, Shawn Corhn, coach volleyball, track and field at Rugby Middle, and was an athlete himself at West Henderson High. He graduated from West in 2008 and from Western Carolina University in 2012.

“My mom was an educator and a coach for 31 years at Rugby, and both of my sisters are coaches as well,” Corhn said. “It’s always been an aspiration of mine to become a head coach.”

Corhn spent the last few years working alongside former head baseball coach Sam Perry, whom he called a mentor and a friend.

“We have a lot of potential, and the baseball program in the past few years has been moving in a very positive direction,” Corhn said. “I’m very excited about this season.”
