Longtime Suttons Bay baseball coach Doug Periard announced his retirement earlier this month. The Norsemen will be moving forward with Suttons Bay graduate Kaleb Grant.

Grant, 24, was brought on in 2022 as a volunteer coach, and within a season, Periard knew they had a future coach of the program.

“It was actually from that point on that the four of us as a group of coaches work together towards,” Periard said. “(Grant’s) coaching really developed over the last two years. He’s working with the kids and showing them maturity of when a kid needs help and helping them move forward.”
