Aaron Whitford

Assistant Coach

Varsity Volleyball

Coach Whitford is entering his 1st season as the Head Coach of the baseball program. Coach Whitford spent the last 5 seasons as the pitching coach for Hedgesville High School. He graduated from Hedgesville High in 2005, where he played basketball and baseball. He went on to play baseball at Garrett College and Fairmont State University. "I have had the pleasure of knowing Coach Whitford for many years.  As his coach I witnessed his drive and determination to make not only himself better, but his teammates as well.  As a player in college, he battled back from arm surgery to pitch our team to a crucial playoff win going eight strong innings.  He has a great knowledge of baseball and I am excited that he will be able to lead a group of men to not only understand the game better, but also to help them as they transition from teenage boys to men.  His leadership and strong ethics will no doubt leave an impact on his players for years to come. I commend Hedgesville High School for hiring such a wonderful individual." said Coach Yanchak, who was the head baseball coach during Whitford's time at Fairmont State. Whitford graduated from Fairmont State with his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education/Health in 2010. He also graduated with his Master's in Special Education in 2015. He currently teaches at Hedgesville High School.
