The 2002 baseball season will be the 26th for head coach Ed Cheff, who has developed one of the most impressive collegiate baseball programs in the nation -- at any level.

The NAIA World Series championship the Warriors won in 2000 was the school’s 11th since 1984 and second in as many years.  The Warriors also won five titles in the '90s. From 1982 to 1992, the Warriors played in 11 consecutive national championship games and won eight, a feat never duplicated by a collegiate team at any level in any major sport.

More than 80 of Cheff’s former players at L-C have played professional baseball and several have played in the big leagues, including five current major leaguers. However, when Cheff is honored for baseball accomplishments, a great deal of mention is made of his involvement in other aspects of baseball and the Lewis-Clark Valley communities, a statement that makes a greater impact to the quality of the program than national championships and wins and losses.

The Warrior mentor has also been very active in baseball outside of Lewiston. He’s a nationally known clinic speaker and has addressed the American Baseball Coaches Association Convention on four different occasions. He spent the next two summers coaching the Anchorage Bucs in the Alaska Collegiate League.
