The Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Hall of Fame’s 21st class is taking shape.

The first two members of the Class of 2025, who will be inducted during the annual ceremony at WesBanco Arena on Aug. 9 at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, were multi-sport standouts from the decade of the 2010s.

Wheeling Park’s Errin Baynes and Indian Creek’s Alex Young are the first members to have their names announced and others will be announced in the coming weeks by the hall of fame committee.

Here’s capsule look at the honorees for the decade of the 2010s:

ERRIN BAYNES, Wheeling Park (Class of 2012) — Whether it was on the soccer field, basketball court or track, this former Patriot shined.

It was in track and field, however, where Baynes made his biggest impact for the Patriots. A standout in the high jump, Baynes was just the third OVAC athlete to clear the coveted 7-foot barrier as a prep athlete.

His monumental jump occurred during his senior season at a meet at Mars, Pa. when he soared over 7-foot, quarter inch. He finished that season, as well as his junior campaign, undefeated in his specialty, consistently clearing 6-foot-8 and higher, which let him to win the Class AAA state and OVAC championships. He finished his senior season ranked second nationally in the high jump.

Actually, he was a multiple-time champion at both of those meets. He won three state championships in the high jump and the same number at the conference meet. He wasn’t afraid to challenge himself as proven by the fact that he competed in the New Balance High School Nationals after his jwunior season, placing third with a 6-8 clearance.

Baynes also shined in the long jump. He had a personal-best mark of 22-ft-3 ½ and won the state championship in both 2011 and 2012.

Baynes shined on the soccer field for the Patriots. He was twice named First Team All-State and as a senior was named the state’s midfielder of the year. He was also a three-time All-OVAC selection and conference player of the year as a senior. He captained the All-Valley team that season as well.

Those aforementioned jumping skills came in handy during the winter when Baynes was a standout on the basketball court. A three-year starter, Baynes helped lead Park to a pair of OVAC championships and multiple trips to the West Virginia State Tournament.

As a senior, Baynes averaged some 15 points a game and handed out five assists a contest. He scored a career-high of 38 points during a game his senior season.

After high school, Baynes elected to take his track and field talents to the University of Southern California. He competed for the Trojans for two seasons in the high jump before injuries derailed his career.

ALEX YOUNG, Indian Creek (Class of 2013) — Earning All-Ohio acclaim in one sport is quite impressive. Doing it in four sports — in one school year — is simply off the chart.

That’s exactly what this former Redskin athlete did as a senior when he earned the state of Ohio’s top honor in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. Those honors put the finishing touches on one of the most brilliant careers of any male athlete in Indian Creek’s history.

Young accumulated 12 letters during his prep career, but while shining in multiple sports, it was on the baseball diamond where he left his biggest mark.

During his career with the Redskins, Young hit .415, which ranks second all time in school history. He scored 96 runs, which is the most by any Redskin player. He finished with 100 hits, 78 singles, 11 triples (school record) and he swiped 62 bases (school record) to showcase that speed he would later use on the track.

He was twice named All-OVAC in baseball and once on the All-Ohio squad. He also played in the Mizuno All-Ohio Series after his senior season.

As a basketball player, Young lettered three times and put up impressive numbers despite missing half of his junior season with an injury. He ranks 10th in school history in single-season scoring, third in single-season steals, 10th in career rebounds with 264 and fifth in career steals. He was All-OVAC as a senior and junior and honorable mention All-Ohio.

On the football field, Young played early in his career at wide receiver before shifting to quarterback as a senior.

In his career, he scored 19 touchdowns, kicked 19 PATs, three field goals and had three, two-point conversions. He scored touchdowns as a running back, receiver, kick returner, punt returner and defensive back. As a senior, he accounted for 192 of the Redskins’ 376 total points. Demonstrating his versatility, Young had a game, as a senior, in which he rushed and passed for more than 100 yards and also added more than 100 yards in the return game.

He was All-OVAC as a senior and listed as the Third Team All-Ohio quarterback.

Arguably Young’s greatest athletic achievement came during a three-week stretch in late May of 2013. After the Redskins were eliminated from the baseball postseason, Young decided to join the track team. He proceeded to win the district and regional title in the 400 meter dash and finished fifth in the Division II state meet, posting an impressive time of 49.65.

Young elected to pursue baseball at the collegiate level. He played two seasons at Sinclair Junior College in Dayton before transferring to Grand Valley State in Michigan for his final two seasons of eligibility.
