Baseball: Plenty of Breakers earn all-league honors

The Laguna Beach High baseball dominated throughout the 2014 Orange Coast League season, and the Breakers dominated the 2014 all-league team selections.

Laguna placed eight players on the all-league team which is headed by a pair of seniors. The Breakers’ Richie Nunis and Grant Wilhelm took top honors by being named Most Valuable Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively.

A trio of Breakers, seniors Preston GrandPre and Steven Harrison and sophomore Will McInerny, were first-team selections. The more Breakers, junior Callan Cochran, sophomore Zak Kovacic and freshman Dante Faicchio, were named second-team all-league.

Three members of the Laguna softball team also earned all-league laurels. Seniors Halle Redfearn and Veronica Clancy were first-team picks, and senior Jordan Hartman was named to the second team.
