Lindsay and Lacy Gregory, have spent nearly their entire lives in each other’s company.

From the time they were young to their college years to present day, they have been inseparable. Now, they are in their first season leading the softball program together.

“I don’t remember spending a day apart,” head coach Lindsay Gregory said. “We shared a room until we were in high school, so there really was no getting away from each other.”

The identical twins fell in love with softball at a young age and continued to play together at Kingwood High School. Later, they played together at the University of North Texas.

They both played middle infield – Lindsay at shortstop and Lacy at second base. This partnership carried them through their playing years, leading to many unforgettable memories, including a State Final appearance during their freshman year of high school.

“Getting to play together in college and accomplishing the goals that we set out when we were younger together was probably one of my favorite memories,” said Lacy, who is in her first year as an assistant coach at Kingwood Park.

Lacy’s decision to join her sister at Kingwood Park as a coach was a turning point that brought the twins back together to make up for a little time apart after college.

A year ago, Lacy was teaching at Creekwood Middle School. She often showed up to Kingwood Park softball practices on her own time to help out. However, when the assistant coaching position opened up last summer, it felt like the perfect timing for a change.

The chance to work alongside her sister in a professional capacity was an offer she couldn’t resist.

“It was the right timing and the right opportunity, it was just too good to pass up,” said Lacy.

Lindsay was ready to share the field again.

“Making up for lost time has really meant the world to us,” said Lindsay.

Coaching together has been a seamless transition for Lindsay and Lacy, as their long-standing bond and shared love for softball are obvious each time they step on the field.

While Lindsay serves as the head coach, Lacy is an assistant with Connor Grant.

The two sisters each bring their own strengths to the table. They balance each other out with Lindsay’s leadership and Lacy’s support and attention to detail.

Their shared history as teammates allows them to communicate effortlessly, understanding each other’s coaching style and complementing each other’s approach.

“We kind of balance each other out in every way.  I think that my weaknesses are her strengths and vice versa,” Lacy said.

Whether it’s coaching the team, preparing for practice or simply enjoying each other’s company, the Gregory sisters have built a coaching dynamic that’s rooted in both professionalism and family.

“I think initially we didn’t really know how it was gonna be working together every single day, but we truly can’t get enough of it” Lindsay said. “It’s been great.”
