Myrtue enjoys connecting with kids through baseball

Eric Myrtue, head baseball coach at Ridge View, has always had a love of the game. Baseball has become a family affair for the Myrtue clan, as Eric now coaches his sons Cael and Blake, and is assisted by his brother Jacob. Myrtue, who also has been a teacher, gave a brief history of his duties at Galva-Holstein.

“I graduated from Iowa State in 2001,” he stated, “and taught History and Government at Galva-Holstein from 2001 to 2007. During that time, I was assistant football coach, head girls basketball coach, assistant track, golf for a couple of years, and head baseball coach.”
