Great spring trip with lots of baseball and good times. Proud of how our kids went to work everyday and represented WO with class all week! Special shoutout to our 4 seniors for being great leaders to our underclassmen. Thank you to all coaches and players! ⚾️
West Ottawa Varsity Baseball won both games of the Purple Power DH against Holland Christian today 6-3 & 7-4. That puts their winning streak at 7 games. More importantly the event raised so much money to help fight cancer and culminated in pie in the face of our coaches!

Senior Luke Linart is one of the most athletic players we’ve had in our program. Many have seen his ability as a hockey and tennis player, but Luke is a great baseball player as well making him a true 3 sport athlete that excelled at a high level in all 3. Luke could do it all...
Some great pictures yesterday from the Panther Alumni Classic where we honored the 1970 ⚾️ State Championship team. Stirring up memories from the past and creating new special moments. Go WO ⚾️❤️!
