For years, the National High School Baseball Coaches Association has provided support to coaches around the country: from recruiting to networking, the organization has helped connect leaders in the sport from all over.
“It’s a good organization; it really is,” said Larry Cooper, a Martinsburg assistant coach and representative of District 2 Mid-Atlantic for the NHSBCA. “For being a high school assistant, they do everything they can to benefit the kids.”
According to the computer engineering career website, the goal of the group is to “provide services and recognition for baseball coaches and to help promote and represent high school baseball across this country. The current membership has coaches from every state sponsoring high school baseball.”
The local area has seen several coaches receive the deserved recognition through the organization, including Cooper himself. In the 29 years in existence, there have been just four District 2 Assistant Coaches of the Year come from West Virginia, and of those four, three hailed from the Eastern Panhandle. The late Bruce Davidson, who spent time with Jefferson as an assistant before taking over the Washington program, earned the honor in 2000, and Cooper was recognized in 2010. The most recent awardee was Ken Cross, an assistant at Jefferson, in 2015. The other awardee in the state was George Brumfield of Cabell Midland.
