CMSD would like to introduce Coach Kadajah Babbitt. She is a native of Shannon, Mississippi, and a former collegiate softball player. After playing throughout her high school career, she earned a softball scholarship to attend Coahoma Community College, where she played for two years. She later earned her bachelor's degree from Mississippi Valley State University and a master's degree in Sports Science from Jackson State University.
Coach Babbitt previously spent three years coaching softball at West Point High School before being named Head Softball Coach at Columbus High School. She is honored and humbled to lead the program and is committed to helping student-athletes become confident, disciplined, and successful young women both on and off the field. Her goal is to build a culture of excellence, accountability, and personal growth while developing strong competitors and leaders.
