2015 Team Preview: Oak Glen Golden Bears

January 16, 2015

http://www.ovac.org/Content/Image/logos/Oak_Glen.jpgAs we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.

Team: Oak Glen
Nickname: Golden Bears
Class: 2A
League: OVAC
Head Coach: Matt Deveaney
2014 Overall Record: 16-10 (Lost in Region Semifinals)

TOP PLAYERS:
Zac Porter, 2016, LHP/OF
Alec Swiger, 2016, OF
Alex Sherman, 2016, SS/RHP

key loss:
Vincent "Bub" Haddox (OVAC 4A Player of the Year, 1st Team AA WVSSAC, West Liberty University)

SEASON OUTLOOK:
The Golden Bears will look to replace OVAC 4A Player of the Year Bub Haddox who is now at West Liberty University. It will have to be by committee as Haddox was the staff ace, shortstop and an offensive force in the middle of the order.

According to the Coach:
"We have a solid core of players returning. We lost one starting pitcher from last year and two regular starters, but return nearly everyone else."
