Joey Ford, 37, is a proud native of Bossier City, Louisiana. A 2006 graduate of Airline High School, he was a standout member of the baseball team before continuing his playing career at Bossier Parish Community College. There, he earned All-Conference honors in 2008. He went on to play at Louisiana Tech University from 2009 to 2011, earning All-Conference honors at second base in 2010. Ford is also one of just two players in program history to play all nine positions in a single game.

Ford has been coaching for 14 years across all levels—youth, high school, and college. From 2013 to 2016, he served as the hitting and infield coach at his alma mater, Airline High School, where the team won two district championships and tied the school record for wins in a season (31). Most recently, he was the hitting and infield coach at Loyola College Prep, helping lead the team to a 24–12 record, a district title in its first year in 1-4A, and a trip to the quarterfinals.

Now a coach at Evangel Christian Academy, Ford brings years of playing experience, technical skill, and a passion for mentorship to the program. He’s dedicated to developing players on and off the field and is excited to help lead the next generation of young men.

Ford has been married to his wife, Lauren, for 13 years. They have two children, Beckett (5) and Britain (3).
