Dustin Skelton named new Marshall Academy head baseball coach

Marshall Academy is excited to announce the hiring of Dustin Skelton as the new head baseball coach.

Coach Skelton was part of the championship-winning coaching staff here at MA in the 2021-22 season. Before joining the MA coaching staff, Coach Skelton was part of the Marlins Organization after a successful college career playing for the Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball team as catcher. An NCAA and SEC-ranked player, Skelton knows what it takes to compete in the biggest leagues of baseball and has been a vital part of the program here at Marshall Academy this year.

MA is confident that Coach Skelton will seamlessly transition into the head coach role and continue the legacy that Coach Branch has begun here at Marshall. Coach Skelton brings knowledge, experience, and drive to a program that has proven to benefit from his talents.

Coach Skelton is from Olive Branch. His brother Colton Atherton is a recent graduate of Marshall Academy.
