Wants to spend more time watching kids grow up
    
BY JAMIE KNAPP

Dick Jungers has been a tremendous softball coach for years at Newell-Fonda.

His teams were synonymous with the state tournament, making seven appearances in the last nine years and playing in four state championship games.But while he was excelling at being a coach, Jungers didn’t feel he was doing so as a dad. There was no time away from softball to watch and support his own kids’ activities.
