Hall of Fame
One of the West Virginia Conference’s top hitters throughout his career, Mark Stacy helped the West Liberty baseball team dominate the WVIAC’s Northern Division during the late 1970s. A native of Steubenville, Ohio, Stacy led the Hilltoppers in hits in 1975, becoming only the second freshman to earn first-team All-WVIAC honors since the first All-WVIAC team was selected in 1963.
Stacy was a three-time All-WVIAC selection and a first-team NAIA All-Area 7 honoree as a junior. Stacy led Coach Jim Watson’s West Liberty squad to four consecutive WVIAC Northern Division titles as well as three straight WVIAC championships and NAIA Area 7 tournament berths.
He helped guide Steubenville Post 33’s American Legion team to six Ohio state titles during a 30-year coaching career and compiled a 302-129 (.701) record in 9 years as the team manager, which included the 2007 state title. Stacy also served as an assistant coach at Steubenville High School for 21 years.
