Biography
Head coach Joey Hammond announced the addition of volunteer assistant coach Chris Maness on July 14, 2021. Maness comes to High Point after serving as the head coach for Northwest Guilford High School for the last two seasons. He got the Vikings off to a 3-3 start in the 2020 season before the COVID-19 Pandemic prematurely ended it and then led the team to a 13-4 record in 2021 and a trip to the NCHSAA 4A Quarterfinals. Maness also served as an assistant coach at Ragsdale High School and as the head coach at Northwest Guilford and Jamestown Middle Schools. Maness pitched for four years at Elon and is tied for the third-most appearances (88) and has the second-most saves (21) in Phoenix baseball history. He was selected in the 28th round of the 1998 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies and played 27 games in the minors that season before making 34 appearances for the Independent League Chillicothe Paints in 1999.
Coaching Philosophy
Maness appears to value developing players through structured progression, having coached at every level from middle school to Division I. His experience as a closer and professional player suggests he understands high-pressure situations and likely emphasizes mental toughness and preparation. His quick success at Northwest Guilford indicates he can identify talent and create winning cultures efficiently.
