Ryan Jordan Named New RCS Head Baseball Coach

Resurrection Catholic Middle/High School is excited to welcome former RCS Baseball Coach Ryan Jordan back onto the field as the new Head Baseball Coach!

Jordan is returning after coaching the Snoepek Baseball Youth Teams from 2022-2024 and is excited to return to Lee Tingle Park to coach the Eagles. Playing baseball his whole life as well as in college at William Carey from 2001-2005, he is very qualified to lead our Eagles and brings strong experience to the program. Coach Jordan previously coached at Resurrection as Head Coach in 2007 and as the assistant coach in 2008 and 2013.

In anticipation of his new role, Coach Jordan said, “Undoubtedly, I’m most excited about working to get our boys back in position to win a 3rd state title in 4 years and continue a tradition of winning on and off the field. I look forward to creating a unique experience for our players and their families, giving our group the potential to exceed far beyond all of their expectations, and to create a tradition unlike any other that has been accomplished in the state of Mississippi. My job is to continue to build on the success that was first brought here by coaches Johnny Olsen, Lee Tingle, and Aron Frederic, all of which I’ve had the esteemed honor to be coached by and also the pleasure to coach with.”

Coach Jordan inherits a storied baseball program from Coach Aron Frederic and the late Coach Lee Tingle and is up to the challenge to continue the Eagles success.  “My primary focus this season will be to stress to our young men that winning is an inside job. Before we can win on the field, we have to understand that winning isn’t a switch that we turn on and off. We have to seek out all of the ways that we can succeed in all of the other aspects of our lives to create a consistent culture of winning,” says Jordan.

It is clear to see Jordan is committed to creating a united team and furthering the Eagles Baseball legacy. RCMHS Principal Kristal Sisson speaks highly of Coach Jordan and looks forward to welcoming him. She says, “We are very excited for Eagle Baseball!  Coach Jordan will do a wonderful job as our new head coach. He will continue the legacy of baseball excellence at RCS!” Similarly, RCMHS Athletic Director Coach Eric Denmark added, “Coach Jordan is the perfect choice for head coach. He understands not only the fundamentals of baseball and coaching but also the importance of molding young men!”

Jordan is both thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to coach at RCS and build on what has already been a very accomplished baseball team. While the summer still remains, Coach is itching for the Eagles to get back on the field. “I’m ready to get to work and get ourselves in a position to be right where we were this previous season and bring back the South State and State titles. We will leave no doubt that we have done everything possible on and off of the field to make that happen. The future is extremely bright here, and it’s a great day to be an RCS Eagle! Soar Eagles!”

Welcome, Coach Jordan! Resurrection is so excited to have you and cannot wait to see our Eagles take the field!
