John's Story
Currently teaching and coaching baseball at Rogue River. That is actually pretty ironic because my most vivid memory of Rogue River Baseball from High School included Steve Nork wading into the Rogue River bench swinging and Ted Thomas picking me up and setting me on the bus out of harm's way. I have 3 kids and 2 grandkids, both boys. My oldest daughter lives in Texas and has the two boys. My son is at Shasta College in Redding playing baseball. He was player of the year in our conference and 1st team All-State last year for RR. His success helped gain me the state's Coach-of-the-Year award. It was a fun year.

been a Chinese Linguist and secret equipment operator in the Air Force, an Oregon ASA Hall-of-Fame player and 2-time All-American in men's fast pitch softball, a corporate salesman for Harry and David and several synthetic stucco companies, a very successful college baseball player, and have run a year-round baseball school for Fred Herrmann and his professional team for 7 years. In 30 plus years of coaching, I have been fortunate enough to have coached more than 100 student-athletes who have gone on to pursue college baseball or softball, including the two boys who combined to score the game-winning run for Oregon State's first National Championship. Several of my athletes have played professionally as well. It has been a fun ride, but I still look forward to that first state champioship team at the high school level.
