Coaching Staff

 Chris Godby - Head Coach, Boys and Girls

Coach Godby began his career as a volunteer assistant at Pulaski County High and Somerset High in the mid-1990s.  He became the Russell County Laker Boys Tennis coach in 1997.  He led the team to multiple top-5 regional finishes including the runner-up title in 2004.  His doubles teams were regional champions in 2004 and runners-up in 2005 and 2006.  He logged three consecutive state tournament appearances, including the school's first state tournament match win, before retiring from coaching at the end of the 2006 season.  After a 20-year break, he has returned to coach the Laker boys--and now also girls--at their new 6-court facility at the First National Bank Athletic Complex.  As a life-long tennis advocate, he is also the chairman of the Central KY Tennis Series (CKTS) and co-host/producer of the award-winning tennis podcast "Game Set Match Kentucky!"  He resides in Russell Springs with "Mrs. Coach" Laura and their teenage kids Carson and Calli.
