As a Legion player in 1973 and 1974, his love for the Owls Field continued after his playing days into his adult life by becoming a club member, Head Coach of the City-County Jr League team from 1976-1979, Head Legion coach from 1980- 1985, and then into an Administrative role as President (1982) and Treasurer (1982-1986; 1993- 2012). His hard work, dedication, and volunteerism helped evolve the Owls Sports Club into a Nationally recognized organization. He continues to be the “Voice of the Owls” to date and provides his baseball friendly voice and eclectic musical selections to make the Owls Field at Ted Palka Park a fun place to relax and watch a game. Kurt Behrenshausen Retired #19 Kurt Behrenshausen began his career as a player for the Owls in 1978 until his final year in 1983. In 1987, the Owls Sports Club took a chance on former teammates and friends (Tony Matz III, Head Coach; and Kurt Behrenshausen, Assistant Coach) to take over the Legion program. Kurt assisted in the Owls first Berks County Championship in many years in 1991. After the 1992 season, Kurt stepped away from the dugout to start a family. He returned to the dugout as an assistant under Tony Matz III in 2001 focusing on the hitters, catchers, and outfielders. He coached and helped evolve the baseball program to National Prominence in 2005, the Owls first National Regional berth. He stepped away from the dugout for good in 2012. He continues to be a “roving” coach for practices. He continues to be an active member and Executive Board Trustee of the Owls Sports Club. He is also one of the main reasons the Owls Field at Ted Palka Park is revered as the finest amateur baseball complexes around the State of Pennsylvania due to his dedication to detail around the field. Steve Carroll Retired #8 Steve Carroll's ability to help mold the personalities and baseball skills of our young players has stood out year after year. In 2020, he is entering his 27th year as a member of the Owls Sports Club and pitching coach for the Legion program. A 1989 graduate from Governor Mifflin High School and 1994 graduate of Shippensburg University, Steve was a member of the Shippensburg Raiders Baseball program in 1993 and 1994. Steve joined as pitching coach with the Owls Legion program under head coach Tony Matz III in the summer of 1994. Influenced by many wonderful Owls family and friends, Steve has become an integral member who helped transform Owls Field into a nationally known facility. Steve continues to serve as Vice President of the Owls Sports Club. You will continue to find Steve either on the mower cutting the field or in the bullpen working with a pitcher. 5 Owls Sports Club, Inc.

    NOTABLE OTTERS TEAMS INAUGURAL 1995 TEAM 2006 LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM 2016 LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM Old National Bank proudly supports the Evansville Otters, our hometown team! oldnationalbank | 800-731-2265 Evansville Otters Fans, As you read this, our communities are emerging from the very long shadow cast by the pandemic. Life as we know it is returning to normal but not without a great sense of loss - and gratitude. The Frontier League is grateful to you for your support and to the Evansville community as professional baseball makes its long-awaited return, and the game once again plays a role in nationwide healing by providing fans with fun, excitement, and wholesome family entertainment. We have a new resolve to deliver all of that during each of your visits to Bosse Field. Since our teams last competed, the Frontier League has been named as a Partner League to Major League Baseball. This designation honors our longevity and past successes in providing players the opportunity along their journey to the highest levels of professional baseball. It also strengthens our collective efforts to grow the game and extends our reach to engage younger fans. Our league has also grown. In fact, we are the largest of MLB’s four Partner Leagues with a footprint that captures our legacy teams in the Midwest and now teams in the East and to the North in Canada! Cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Quebec, and New York City are all a long home run away from communities that we call home, making accessibility easy for MLB scouts and value to our partners and sponsors even more significant.

    Baseball Stadium Baseball will include a press box, team dugouts and hitting and pitching practice areas. Synthetic grass will extend the ability to practice and play throughout the year and lighting will allow for evening games. New Olympic Sports Facility Coming in 2010! Similar to the blueprint Pitt began cultivating in 2000 to entrench itself among the country’s finest universities, Pitt Athletics is intent on doing the same from a student-athlete perspective. Envisioned is a new complex that will provide state-of-the-art homes for Pitt baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s track and field. The complex will transform 12 acres of land at the peak of campus, not only giving Pitt student- athletes nationally competitive facilities, but also rejuvenating an untapped area that neighbors the University of Pittsburgh campus. The Olympic Sports Complex The Olympic Sports Complex will transform 12 acres of unused land into a major attraction for the kind of top-performing student-athletes who can elevate the quality of our Olympic sports programs while competing academically to achieve all that an education at the University of Pittsburgh has to offer. Combined with the premier venues of Heinz Field, the Petersen Events Center, the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, and the newly renovated Fitzgerald Field House and Trees Pool, this complex will offer students, parents and fans an enthralling sports experience that stretches from Oakland to the North Shore to the booming South Side. Track & Field Stadium The track and field stadium will be utilized for practice and competition, and be located on the site presently occupied by Pitt’s current baseball and softball fields.

  • 2014 CEO Annual Report
    Annual Report 2013-2014 2013-2014 CEO Annual Report It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the sixth year for CEO! Effingham CEO continues to be a shining example of 21st century learning, and thanks to our educational and business leaders, our students continue to have a tremendous educational experience. We’ve seen our students and business partners gather for fun, team-building events, bond in mentor-student relationships, and work together to build business plans and businesses. We’ve watched another all-star list of successful business people come to class and share their stories, their expertise, and their wisdom, and we’ve watched our students grow and mature into confident, capable business people. Since last year, our students have visited more than 50 businesses, and gleaned business ideas from more than 100 guests – but they have done more than that: • Hosted a CEO tent at the Corvette Funfest • Worked in local businesses through the CEO internship program • Hosted The CEO Experience, a successful business conference • The senior leadership of the Cincinnati Reds hosted the CEO class for a day of learning about the business of Major League Baseball • Completed 2-3 business plans • CEO students have each started their own business • Developed a network of business professionals who are ready and eager to help them succeed • CEO students have access to the CEO angel investment fund, which provides capital for start up businesses proposed by CEO graduates • CEO students welcomed visitors from around the Midwest to teach them about the program Our area business community continues to open its arms to these young people, and the result is that our students have received a world-class business education before they’ve even had the chance to graduate from high school.
