Levi Maxwell has been approved by the Wood County Board of Education to serve as the new head baseball coach at Parkersburg South, taking over a program eager for a fresh direction.
A Legacy of Winning
Maxwell arrives after six seasons as head coach at Williamstown, where he guided the team to multiple Little Kanawha Conference titles and state tournament appearances, including a state championship as a player.
Aggressive Play Takes Center Stage
His vision for the Patriots emphasizes an attacking style, with a focus on stealing bases and playing hard‑nosed baseball, aiming to translate that energy into wins.
Building a Competitive Staff
Maxwell plans to assemble a coaching staff and meet his new players in the coming weeks, setting the groundwork for a season that could culminate in a state championship.
A Homecoming of Sorts
The move also reflects a personal draw to the area, as Maxwell cited proximity to his family’s home in Mineral Wells and the chance to coach at a higher competitive level.
Local officials and fans alike are optimistic, believing the new coach’s aggressive approach could revitalize the program and bring sustained success to the region.
