The OCAD program is sponsored by the non-profit Orange County Academic Decathlon Association, and is administered by OCDE. Additional program sponsors include Del Taco, The Orange County Register, and Learning.com. Valencia High School, Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, will be announced as the Overall Team Winner and will represent Orange County at the California Academic Decathlon competition in March in Sacramento.

Savage’s seventh recruiting class at UCLA features five pitchers, four infielders, one catcher and one outfielder. “These incoming players are fantastic additions to our program, and we are really looking forward to seeing what they can do at the collegiate level,” Savage said. “We have brought in a balanced recruiting class, from a pitcher and position player perspective. Our coaching staff believes that these guys will be able to contribute from the start.” Two of the 11 incoming players, Kevin Kramer and Jake Ehret, were selected in the MLB Draft last June. Kramer, a freshman infielder from Turlock, Calif., was selected in the 25th round of the MLB Draft by the Cleveland Indians. Ehret, a freshman right-hander from San Dimas, Calif., was chosen in the 37th round by the Florida Marlins. Outfielder Eric Filia-Snyder, a four-year varsity standout at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., twice earned Sunset League MVP acclaim in addition to securing first-team All-CIF accolades as a senior.
