Superintendent’s Message: I would like to congratulate and welcome all of the inductees and special award winners into the 2018 North Allegheny Athletic Hall of Fame! The contributions and accomplishments of these exceptional individuals have greatly enhanced the North Allegheny tradition of excellence. Many of the life lessons that our students learn through athletics and other extra-curricular activities are just as important as the lessons they learn in the classroom. These experiences truly help prepare our students for success in a changing world.

My apologies for not being there in person this evening, however I am attending a professional development conference with other superintendents from the region. Thank you all for all that you have done to make the North Allegheny athletic program a model of excellence and a source of pride for everyone in the community. It’s a great day to be a Tiger!

Mark Woods 2018 Recipient

Mark Woods has the longest tenure for coaching baseball at North Allegheny. Coach Woods was a 1970 NA graduate. He played shortstop on the JV and Varsity baseball teams coached by Bob Miller and Jim McCracken. After attending and graduating from Edinboro State College in 1974, Mark began his 43 years of coaching baseball the following season for the Ingomar Senior League and was asked to join the NA coaching staff in 1981 under the leadership of Bob Lebec.

Mark was the Head Coach for Freshmen and JV teams for 27 seasons and served as assistant coach and roving instructor for three years totaling 30 years at NA. Mark is considered by many in the baseball community the driving force and catalyst for the winning tradition of the NA Baseball Program. He created a winning attitude and mindset enriched with player fundamental development and retention in a program suffering with decades of losing seasons and absence from the playoffs since 1956.

His first freshman team in 1981 (11-1) participated in the WPIAL playoffs in 1983. This was the first time a NA Baseball team had made the playoffs since 1956. Mark was credited as the underlying force that created the Baseball Boosters in 1985. He organized and hosted the Doyle School of Baseball in 1986 at NA to conduct a weekend clinic for Western PA coaches. Proceeds from this clinic supported the team to attend the Doyle School of Baseball in Winter Haven, Florida that year. Mark was the foundation and building block for successful North Allegheny Varsity teams achieving 25 consecutive years of reaching the baseball WPIAL playoffs (1986-2010) including 14 WPIAL championship games, winning seven and five PIAA Championship Games, winning two.

His 9th grade teams were the backbone of Varsity success. Mark introduced 8th graders on the 9th Grade team in 1982, unprecedented in most high schools at the time. Mark had a career record of 384-103-1 for a winning percentage of .789. He was never ejected from a baseball game in 487 high school contests not to mention over 1,500 career games. His team had an undefeated 21-0 Freshman season in 1995 which no NA baseball team had achieved. He coached summer and fall leagues for 43 years with pre-adolescent (Little League), adolescent (Pony League), junior high (Colt League) and varsity level (Palomino) teams. He specializes in pre-adolescent training and instruction for adults conducting community coaches’ clinics over the past 15 years for various district athletic associations. Mark maintains a historical chronological archive collection of the NA Baseball Program from 1970 – 2018. Currently, Mark is an assistant baseball coach at Bethany College.
