Quote from head baseball coach Shelby Dixon:
- "Having Noah join the team this year was a blessing. He was immediately able to integrate himself into the team and provide leadership and laughter throughout the season. Noah demonstrated an immense amount of toughness, while battling through injuries. to provide a dynamic spark to our offense and a jolt of life into our dugout. He is an amazing young man who will be successful in whatever he chooses to do after Olivet and I am incredibly thankful for the time I had to work with him and get to know him, and to call him an OC baseball alumnus."
Editor's Note: The COVID-19 pandemic caused the abrubt end to winter and spring sports for the 2019-20 academic year. We are not able to host Senior Day ceremonies to thank these seniors for their dedication to their chosen sport. As a result, we will be posting senior salutes like above for each senior over the coming weeks.
