Baseball: Three Coaches of the Year for Clatsop County

Published 8:40 pm Sunday, August 8, 2021

In his first year as Seaside baseball coach, Brett Wolfe was one of two Coaches of the Year in the Cowapa League.

For the first time since 2014 (not counting the canceled 2020 season), no baseball team from Clatsop County played for a state championship in the shortened 2021 spring season.

Still, for the locals, the season featured three league Coaches of the Year, two league champions and one Player of the Year.

Warrenton and Knappa came the closest, both advancing to the final eight of the unofficial state tournaments for 3A and 2A, respectively.

At the 4A level, Seaside’s Brett Wolfe — in his first year with the Gulls — was named as one of the Coach of the Year recipients in the Cowapa League, along with Joe Baumgartner of league champion Banks.

The Braves had all nine starters earn all-league honors, including Player of the Year Charlie White and Pitcher of the Year Riley Harbaugh. Seaside had six players on the all-league team.

In the Class 3A Coastal Range League, Warrenton’s Lennie Wolfe was selected as Coach of the Year for the 12th time, while all nine Warrior starters — seven of whom return next season — earned all-league honors.

Knappa’s Jeff Miller was Coach of the Year in the 2A Northwest League, with Logger junior Drew Miller the Player of the Year.
