CHARLESTON — Buckhannon-Upshur’s Zach Calef-Boring has been named to the Class AAA all-state second team as selected by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.

Calef-Boring, a sophomore, was selected as one of the four utility players.

Bridgeport’s Nate Paulsen, a senior center fielder, is captain of the first team. The Indians captured their seventh straight state championship last week, beating Hurricane 10-4 in the Class AAA title game at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston.

He batted a stellar .505 on the season, clouting six home runs, 10 doubles and driving in 57 runs while scoring 49 and also swiped 20 bases.

The state tournament field was well-represented on the Class AAA All-State squad, with each of the four teams at Power Park providing three first-team selections, or 12 of the 18 total honorees.

Besides Paulsen, Bridgeport saw infielders Ryan Goff and Cam Cole earn first-team berths. Hurricane’s trio included pitcher Ismael Borrero, outfielder Ethan Spolarich and utility man Joel Gardner. Jefferson had pitcher Riley Vadasz and infielders Cullen Horowitz and Zac Rose, and St. Albans placed catcher Trent Short, infielder Drew Whitman and utility man Tyson Burke on the first team.

The remaining first-team members included pitchers Quincy Thornton (Morgantown) and Logan Lingenfelter (Cabell Midland), outfielder Blake Hartman (Musselman) and utility choices Braden Shepherd (Huntington), Michael Bittinger (Wheeling Park) and Grant Hussey (Parkersburg South).

The second-team captain is Hurricane infielder Bryson Rigney.
