Curran Ozawa-Burns, recently named to the California Community College Baseball Coaches Association All-State team, added more hardware to his trophy case this week. Ozawa-Burns was named the Coast-North Player of the Year and the DH on the All-Coast/North First Team.

He was second on the team with six stolen bases and his .462 average was second in the state. His six round-trippers placed him sixth among CCCAA batters.

Cox had a stellar freshman season in the outfield for WVC, slashing .301/.362/.425 with 22 hits, 1 HR, four doubles, a triple, 17 RBI, six stolen bases and no errors in 37 fielding opportunities. Outfielder Wright finished the year with a .344/.410/.500 slash line, 31 hits, six doubles, two HRs, 13 RBI, nine stolen bases and a .979 fielding %.
