Deep Creek High School dedicated its baseball field in memory of Wes "Bud" Swisher on May 13, 2025. For over 30 years, Coach Swisher taught English, P.E. and Driver's Ed and was the heart and soul of Deep Creek Baseball, achieving 34 winning seasons. 💜 He was also inducted into the Chesapeake Sports Club Hall of Fame and now his legacy lives on at his beloved field. Thank you to Coach Swisher's family, friends, former students, current baseball players, and amazing culinary arts students for making the celebration so special. #CPSCelebrates

Plus, some of your very own coaches — Coach Twine, Coach Allen, Coach Kip, and Coach Howard — will be part of a panel, along with recent Deep Creek graduates who are now playing at the college level!
