Arundel baseball coach Bernie Walter will be honored this weekend as a member of the inaugural class of inductees into the National High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Walter joins coaches from Nebraska, Florida, Illinois and Indiana, an Oklahoma state official, and the founders of the BCA, as the first members of the high school BCA Hall of Fame, with ceremonies to be held this weekend in Oklahoma City.

Walter's accomplishments are legion. He has won 652 games and 10 state championships in 34 years as Arundel coach, as well as a mythical national title in 1993. Walter has been named national Coach of the Year four times by various organizations and won a gold medal as coach of USA Baseball's Junior National team in 1988, as well as more than 1,700 other games as a summer baseball coach.
