HEAD COACH | 9TH SEASON

As A cAtcher for the south hArrison BAseBAll progrAm, frAnk tAte led the hAwks through one of the winningest erAs in the progrAm’s history.

now, 17 yeArs lAter, tAte is repeAting the feAt As the teAm’s heAd coAch.

Tate begins his 9th season as head coach of South Harrison, the school he graduated from in 1995 after playing four years under then head coach Brad Nutter. Tate finished his playing career with 49 wins, including being a part of the school’s only 20-win season in 1993.

Yet, as a head coach he has taken the pro-gram to another level. In just eight seasons, Tate has led the team to two sectional cham-pionships (2009, 2010) including finishing one win away from reaching the state tournament for the first time in school history. In that Regional Championship game, which was held at South Harrison in 2009, the Hawks lost to eventual state champion Moorefield, 6-1 – the closest game the Yellow Jackets played all postseason.

Last season, Tate became the school’s win-ningest coach when he surpassed Nutter after winning his 105th career game in the open-ing round of the 2011 sectional tournament, claiming a 9-2 win over Doddridge County.

Tate enters the 2012 season with a career record of 106-104, despite coach-ing 40-percent of his career games against Class-AA or Class-AAA opponents. Tate is 80-46 (.635) against Class-A competition,

including a 6-3 mark over Harrison County rival Notre Dame since 2009, and has never lost a Little Kanawha Conference Tournament game, including winning the school’s first LKC Championship by claiming a 2-1 victory over Williamstown in 2009.

Tate has recorded at least 10 wins in all of eight seasons, and was named the Harrison County Coach of the Year in 2009. He also has served as the assistant coach for the North-South All-Star Game in 2008 and 2009, having sent three players (Chris Bunnell, Travis Gawthrop, Chase Snyder) to the all-star competition.

The 2009 season is considered one of the finest seasons in the program’s history. That’s when Tate led the Hawks to the program’s first sectional championship since 1997 and

the third regional appear-ance in the program’s history. Three players from the 2009 team – first baseman Craig Chipps (Fairmont State), pitcher Travis Gawthrop (Potomac State) and catcher Chase Snyder (Fairmont State) – went on to play col-legiate baseball.

Gawthrop and Snyder also became the first pair of Hawk teammates to play in the North-South All-Star Game where the duo com-bined for five innings on the mound in Game 2, helping the North squad four-hit the South in a 1-0, 9-inning loss. They were two of just three Class-A players who were invited to the game.

Tate took over in 2004, in-heriting a young team of just 12 players and three seniors. In his first year, Tate led the Hawks to a 10-8 mark with wins of Class-A powerhouse Madonna and Class-AA and Harrison County rival Lincoln.

In his third season, Tate

led his team to finish just two wins shy of becom-ing the second team in program history to record 20 wins, ending with 18 – the second most in a single season in SHHS history. The team started the season 9-1 until a tough 3-0 loss to No. 1-ranked Pendleton County ended the streak.

But the Hawks still couldn’t overcome the Irish in the sectionals. In a matchup between two of the top pitchers in the state, South Harrison’s Mark Frum and Notre Dame’s Preston Musgrave combined for 29 strikeouts in the 8-inning game, before a late Hawk error led to the Irish scoring the winning run.

It was 2007 that may have been Tate’s finest season. The coach took a young group which consisted of just three seniors to a No. 4 ranking in the Class-A Associated Press Poll after a 5-4 upset over then No.-3 Williamstown. The

win was one of three upsets of ranked opponents in 2007 including a 10-5 victory over then-No. 6 AA Clay County and eventual Class-AA runner-up Grafton.

Tate is nothing new to leading the program to success, however. As a catcher, Tate finished his Hawk career as a four-year letterman where he garnered all-Harrison County honors (Fr., Jr., Sr.), All-Big 10 Confer-ence honors (Jr., Sr.) as well as Class-AA All-State honorable mention in 1995. In football, he was a two-time all-County member and also earned All-Big 10 and All-State recognition. Tate finished his baseball career in the top five in school history in doubles, including leading Harrison County in doubles as a senior.

In 1990 as a 13-year-old, Tate led his Harrison County Babe Ruth All-Star team to the National Championship Series where he finished the tournament with a .600 bat-ting average and was named the tournament’s most outstanding hitter – one of only two West Virginians to ever win the award.

After graduating from SHHS, Tate earned his degree from Fairmont State College in 2003. He currently teaches history at South Harrison High School while he has also been an assistant coach for the Hawks’ football team and head coach Brad Jett for the past 13 seasons. He re-sides in West Milford with his wife Justina and son, Dane.c

ASSISTANT COACH | 14TH SEASON

Journey into the south hArrison dugout follow-ing A hAwks’ gAme or prActice And you will likely find south hArrison AssistAnt coAch Jeff richArds tAlking BAseBAll.

It has become almost a tradition for Richards, who will beginning his 14th season with the South Harrison baseball program this season and his 35th year in the coaching profession.

“The man has forgotten more about baseball that any of us players have ever known,” said former shortstop and outfielder Kris Fridley, who played four years under Richards. “Some of my favorite times were sitting in the dugout after practice talking baseball with Coach Tate and Coach Richards. But it usually evolved into more than just sports because they know being a coach is about more than baseball. I got a lot of advice for both baseball and life, and they may not know it, but our seasons together meant a lot to me.

“Even though my playing days are over, I always hope to help out in any way I can, and I still talk baseball with them any time I get a chance.”

The 1971 graduate of South Harrison High School, who graduated as presi-dent of his senior class, has coached the Hawks baseball program on two different occasions and under three different head coaches.

Beginning in 1998, Richards helped cur-rent Robert C. Byrd head baseball coach

Brad Nutter for two years before helping current Bridgeport head softball coach Frank Lopez in 2000 and again in 2002.

Richards took over as head coach dur-ing the 2003 season where he led South Harrison to an 8-14 mark including a sectional semifinals appearance. He also helped nurture and develop future Hawk Class-A All-State players Mark Frum and Cory Morrison, who were freshmen at the time. Frum finished the year as the team’s go-to pitcher with a 4-1 record in 26 innings while striking out 35 batters en route to earning all-Harrison County honors.

One year later in 2004, Richards became

the assistant coach under current South Harrison baseball head coach Frank Tate where the pair have averaged 13 wins a season, featured two first-team all-state players, three first team all-Little Kanawha Conference selections and 13 players earn first-team all-Harrison County honors on 12 different occasions.

Richards has also help guide three players – Chris Bunnell, Travis Gawthrop and Chase Snyder – to be selected to the North-South All-Star Game while in 2009, Gawthrop was selected as the program’s first Little Kanawha Conference Player of the Year. Catcher Chase Snyder earned LKC Hitter of the Year honors that same year.

“Every player wants to play for coaches like them,” Gawthrop said of Richards and Tate. “They will help you out anyway they can and it doesn’t matter if its on and off the field – if you have a problem, they’ll help you solve it.

“My four years playing for the Hawks under them couldn’t have been better.”

Richards served as South Harrison’s head wrestling coach this season, a position he has

Richards has also served as South Harrison’s head wrestling and golf coach where he coached Hawk baseball players Brandon Allman, D.J. Atha, Chadd Chipps, Denny Chamberlain, Brandon Coffman, Gawthrop, Brandon Hatton, Dakota Kirby, Chris Miller and Snyder.

He has also been an assistant high school softball coach under former head coach Bernie Hurst in 2001 while also assisting former wrestling coach Mike Barnette.

He served as head middle school football coach for five years (1999-2003) where in 2002, he led the Hawks to a Har-rison County Championship – a team led by Frum and Morrison.

Richards was a four-year player for the Hawks under head coach John Jay (1968) and then Gary Barnette from 1969-1971.

Richards graduated from Fairmont State College in 1975 and currently resides in West Milford with his wife, Arline.

They have two children. His oldest, Andrew, is a former all-Harrison County infielder for South Harrison who gradu-ated in 1999.

Karson graduated from South Harrison in 2001 before playing one year of softball at Alderson-Broaddus College in Philippi, W.Va. She is currently a teacher in the Har-rison County School System and is in her fourth season as head coach of the South Harrison softball team where she has led the Hawks to two state tournament ap-pearances and won the school’s first-ever West Virginia State Championship in 2010.c

Described as a pitcher with a “blazing fastball”, Earl Arbogast became the first South Harrison baseball player selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft when he was selected 261st overall in the 14th round of the 1967 Draft by the Chicago Cubs. On June 13, 1967, Cubs’ legendary general Manager John Holland and scout Frank DeMoss

visited West Milford to officially sign the 17-year-old, who departed to pitch in the rookie league in Boise, Idaho one day later. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound right-hander signed for an undisclosed bonus and also received a “good” salary and a four-year scholarship to a college of his choice.

In the minor leagues, Arbogast pitched head-to-head against future MLB Hall-of-Famer Vida Blue and played against a team coached by MLB Hall-of-Fame manager of the Los Angeles Tommy LaSorda.

As a rookie, Arbogast played for Wheeling native George Freese for the Caldwell Cubs and finished third in the rookie league for games started (12) and eighth in wins (5) as a 17-year-old.

In 1969 as a 20-year-old, Arbogast played for the Huron Cub out of Huron, South Dakota and led Class-A in innings pitched (114) and games started (16). He also finished third in complete games (8).

Returned back to Clarksburg area in 1976 to play semi-pro baseball for Clarksburg in the Central West Virginia League, whose home field was Frank Loria Memorial Field. Season tickets were $5.

Arbogast’s complete high school statistics are unavailable.

MLB DRAFT PICKEARL ARBOGAST

“I would like to thank all the baseball managers in this area for their personal efforts and the South Harrison school personnel. I will work hard to become

a successful person and to make a name for myself and my community through this great opportunity.”

– Earl Arbogast, 1967

The 1976 Clarksburg Semi-Professional Baseball Team for which Arbogast was the team’s No.1 pitcher.

One of the most powerful hitters in West Virginia history, Jerred Novotny broke the WVIAC record for home runs in a single season with 21 during the 2005 season after graduating from South Harrison in 2001. He was later selected as

the third overall pick by the Gate-way Grizzlies in the 2006 Frontier League Amateur Draft.

Novotny never played with the Grizzlies, instead signing with the Florence Freedom (Ky.) where he played right field as a 23-year-old.

Novotny played three seasons at Alderson-Bro-addus College (Phillipi, W.Va.) as a first-base-man while he also played for the Battlers’ basketball team. During his record-breaking 2005 season, the right-hander led all Division-II hitters in slugging percentage (.945) and home runs-per-game (.53), earning a selection from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America NCAA All-American Honorable Mention team. He was a first-team All-WVIAC selection in 2003 and 2005.

Novotny was a first-team Class-AA All-State selection for South Harrison in 2001 and represented the Hawks in the North-South All-Star Game, in which he finished 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI to earn MVP honors. He’s the only player to ever win the Harrison County Triple Crown or Big 10 Conference Triple Crown, which he earned by leading the county in batting average, homeruns and RBI in 2001.

Novotny finished second in South Harrison history by hitting 19 career home runs in just three seasons. Novotny holds Hawk baseball records for career slugging percentage (.845), single-season home runs (10, 2000), single-season batting average (.528, 2001), single-game RBI (9, vs. Grafton in 2000). He holds the top two records for single season RBI – 47 in 2000 and 37 in 2001.

He also holds one pitching record – single game strikeouts – which he set in 2001 when he struckout 18 Grafton Bearcats in his final game on South Harrison’s Field of Dreams.

RETIRED NUMBERS

Former South Harrison catcher Brian Elliott’s No. 17 became the first jer-sey number retired in the 44-year history of the South Harrison Baseball Program on June 13, 2009. Elliott was an all-Harrison County catcher and a four-year starter for the Hawks from 1984-to-1987 under then-head coach John Scotchie. He was also a standout kicker for the South Harrison football team under former head coach Gary Barnette where he selected to the all-Harrison County squad for three seasons. On Aug. 3, 1995, Elliott was struck and killed by a drunk driver on his way home from work. Since, his parents Butch and Janet have been crucial members in the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Organization at both the county and state level. Through multiple fundraising ef-forts, the Elliotts have continually supported Hawk Baseball through donations from the Brian Elliott “Field of Dreams” Fund. Both were presented with a framed replica No. 17 jersey be-fore the inaugural South Harrison Baseball Alumni Game in 2009.

THIRD ANNUALALUMNI GAME

MIKE LOWTHER| 1997& STU HURD| 1982

The third-annual South Harrison High School Alumni Baseball Game became the largest event of its kind in Har-rison County in 2011. Thirty-three former players participated in the 9-inning game, which the Orange team won 13-6. The Orange team was made up of players who graduated in even years, while the Black team consisted of players who graduated in odd years.

Roger Evans (1996) led the Orange team, finishing 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI. Former Harrison County Athlete of the Year Mike Johnson finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base while Jimmy Radcliff (1996) of the Black team finished as the only other player with a multi-hit game, ending 2-for-4 with two RBI. Stu Hurd (1982) and Wayne Evans (1978) each recorded doubles.

Hurd finished 2-for-2 with a game-high three RBI.

Daniel Smith (1996) picked up the win on the mound for the Orange team, pitching the first two innings, allowing just one run and two hits while striking out two. Mark Frum (2006) and Cory Morrison (2006) each struck out four batters on the mound for the Orange team, while Logan Fletcher (2008), Tim Johnson (1982) and Mike Evans (1984) also saw the mound for the Orange team.

Jeff Kyle suffered the loss for the Black team. Travis Gawthrop (2009) and Brian Gawthrop (2007) each struck out six batters in two innings of work. Jimmy Radcliff (1996), Mike Lowther (1997) and Cody Myers (2009) also saw work on the mound for the Black team.
