WHEELING — The OVAC Hall of Fame Class of 2025 continues to grow with the addition of a pair of athletic standouts from the decade of the 1980s.

St. Clairsville High School product Ann Osborne and Linsly’s Heath Haynes are the latest additions to the conference shrine.

They will be formally inducted at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling in August.

Previous enshrines for the 2025 HOF class include: Wheeling Park’s Errin Baynes and Indian Creek’s Alex Young from the decade of the 2010s; Martins Ferry’s Clay Tucker and Beaver Local’s Derek Wolfe from the decade of the 2000s and Buckeye Local’s Chet Pobolish and Bellaire’s Richie Mamie from the 1990s.

Here’s a capsule look at the honorees for the decade of the 1980s:

ANN OSBORNE, St. Clairsville (Class of 1984) — Osborne, a multi-talented guard, poured in a whopping 1,697 points during her four years at St. Clairsville, a mark that still stands as the school record today.

Osborne earned a host of accolades for her performance on the prep hardwood, including being named a four-time all-Ohio Valley Athletic Conference selection (second team as a freshman and first team the other three years). She was also a two-time first team All-Eastern District and All-District 12 first teamer.

At the state level, she received All-Ohio special mention as a junior and then was named second team All-Ohio as a senior after averaging 20.5 points per game.

A St. Clairsville Athletic Hall of Fame (2006) and District 12 Basketball Hall of Fame (2013) inductee, Osborne’s talents also extended to the tennis court where she was a three-time OVAC champion in singles.

Osborne continued her superb hoop play at the collegiate level, becoming a four-year letterwinner at Ohio Wesleyan University.

At Ohio Wesleyan, Osborne was a four-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference pick in women’s basketball. She set OWU’s career assists record. A first-team All-NCAC selection as a senior, she ranked eighth in the league in scoring (13.8/game), fourth in assists (4.0/game) and fifth in free-throw percentage (.704).

She finished her career as OWU’s all-time leader in assists (402) and free throws (427) and ranked third on the career scoring (1398) and rebounding (518) lists.

Osborne also lettered three years in tennis and was a third-team GTE Academic All-America selection as a senior. She was inducted into the OWU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993.

She spent 14 years in coaching at the college level, with stops at Fairfield (Conn.) and Marshall as an assistant; as head coach at Kenyon College; and as an assistant at Ohio Wesleyan and San Francisco State.

HEATH HAYNES, Linsly (Class of 1987) – Haynes enjoyed a remarkable pitching career both on the prep and collegiate levels, including scripting a brilliant resume with the Cadets that included a 26-4 career pitching record with 287 strikeouts.

As a junior, Haynes was named Class A All-State by the West Virginia Sports Writers. He went 12-1 for the Cadets that spring with a miniscule ERA of 1.55. He hurled a pair of no-hitters, including one in an OVAC championship game, and struck out 150 batters while fanning at least 10 hitters in every game he pitched. He was subsequently selected as the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Player of the Year and an All-Valley co-captain.

His impressive mound craftsmanship didn’t end that spring. Haynes was named MVP of the West Virginia American Legion State Tournament while helping Wheeling Post 1 capture the state title that summer with an 8-2 mound mark.

Haynes was every bit as impressive during his senior campaign at Linsly when the Cadets won a third straight OVAC championship behind Haynes’ two-hitter in the title contest.

He was named Class A All-State captain by the WV Sports Writers after going a sparkling 9-1 with an 1.59 E.R.A. and 133 Ks in 70 1/3 innings. Haynes was again named the OVAC Player of the Year along with being selected captain of the All-Valley team.

The talented right-hander was tabbed West Virginia Legion Player of the Year, posting a 15-0 record for Post 1.

After graduating from the Leatherwood-based school, Haynes took his immense mound package to Western Kentucky University where he was a four-year standout for the Hilltoppers.

Haynes remains in the top 10 of numerous pitching categories at WKU. His career totals included: 74 appearances, 49 games started, 325 innings pitched, 24 wins, 253 strikeouts and 12 complete games.

He was named first-team All-Sun Belt Conference as a senior after posting a 10-5 record with a 2.90 E.R.A.

After his stellar collegiate diamond career, Haynes signed as a free agent with the Montreal Expos in 1991. Haynes briefly appeared in the majors in 1994 for the Expos while also playing in the minor leagues for the Oakland A’s, California Angels, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, Florida Marlins and Houston Astros.

Haynes also played for the Valley Vipers of the Western Baseball League and the Wei Chuan Dragons of the Chinese Professional Baseball League.
