Southington High School has named Kim Lynch as its new softball coach, bringing back a former standout who helped the Blue Knights capture a CIAC championship 29 years ago. Lynch was appointed on Monday, November 9, 2026, and will take over the program for the 2027 season.
A former Southington player, Lynch was part of the team that won a CIAC title in 1997. Her hiring marks a return to her alma mater after a lengthy absence. The Blue Knights are coming off a season that saw them reach the Class LL semifinals, where they fell to New Canaan.
