Hall of Fame
Coach Jim Clark recently completed his 14th season as head baseball coach at NDCL. Under Clark's watch, NDCL captured the Division II State Baseball Championship in 2001 and was state runner-up in 2006. Clark's record as head baseball coach at NDCL is 310-81.
Clark's numerous media awards include Plain Dealer Division II Coach of the Year from 1997-1999, 2001, 2006, and 2008; and News Herald Division II Coach of the Year from 1995-1999, 2001, and 2006. Clark was Ohio's Division II Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2006. In 2008, the Lions reached the Division II State Semifinals.
Many of Clark's former players have gone on to play in Division I college programs and beyond. Two of Clark's players - fellow 2008 inductee Bobby Kingsbury, and Michael Madsen '01 - have professional baseball experience. NDCL's baseball alumni continue to be supportive of the Lions long after they've left the NDCL baseball diamond - a true tribute to "Coach Clark".Â
