After two seasons at the helm of the Ringgold girls basketball program, Lindsy Muchnock has tendered her resignation.

The former Seton Hill and Latrobe star was hired at Ringgold in August 2018, taking over for Erika McCarthy.

In her two seasons at Ringgold, Muchnock finished with an overall record of 14-29 and 7-21 in Section 3-4A play.

Next season, the Rams move up a classification to 5A.

Muchnock said she has a new job in Rockville, Md.

“I received a teaching position in Montgomery County in Maryland,” Muchnock said. “I enjoyed my two years at Ringgold and from year one to year two, we increased our win record by five games.

“Every school or program I have had the opportunity to be a part of has helped me grow as a person and a professional. Ringgold has done the same for me.”

Muchnock added that she’s learned a lot about herself during her time with the Rams and she’ll miss the relationships she’s formed there.

“I’ll miss my assistant coaches and all the work they put in,” she said.

Ringgold athletic director Laura Grimm said she can’t really put a mark on the impact Muchnock had on the program because she simply wasn’t there long. But she did see some positives.

“I feel like we really didn’t get to make a determination. We had a really good meeting last week and I think we were really on the same page,” Grimm said. 

“In her first year, it was a feeling out process. Not just for the team, but with Lindsy getting familiar with teaching in the district and district athletics. The girls did some good things this season, but year three is usually when you make the biggest jump as a coach.”
