West Clermont High School announced on June 2 that head baseball coach Dave Collins stepped down from his post after five years in the program.
“After five years at the helm of the baseball program, Coach Dave Collins has stepped down,” the school said on its athletics page on X. “Thank you for all you have given our community and our kids. You will always be a Wolf.”
The Wolves finished 13-15 in 2026 and were sixth in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference.
The team’s best season under Collins came in 2023 when the Wolves shared the ECC title with Lebanon, going 14-4 in conference play. West Clermont that season finished 22-9, falling to eventual state champion Moeller in the regional semifinals.
Collins played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball for eight teams from 1975 to 1990. He played in 697 games for the Cincinnati Reds from 1978 to 1981 and again from 1987 to 1989.
