Oakton Baseball Players Receive Preseason Recognition
Two Oakton Community College baseball players have been named "Junior College Players to Watch in 2005" by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.
Sophomore John McGowan, a four-year varsity starter at Schaumburg High School, was named one of the nation's top junior college right-handed pitchers. McGowan was 7-1 for Oakton last season and already has won a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Terrence Whitler, a sophomore transfer from Murray State University, was named among the top junior college outfielders. A Thornridge High School graduate, Whitler played center field in Oakton's 2004 fall season, hitting .371 and posting 15 stolen bases.
Rankings by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, an authority in amateur baseball for 40 years, are compiled by junior college baseball coaches.
In the 2004 baseball campaign, Oakton was 33-17, and finished third in the NJCAA Region IV Finals, the highest achievement of any team in College history. The Raiders also won the NJCAA Region IV Sectional Championship for the second year in a row.
