Coach John Perry was a legend, coaching at Westside for an astounding 50 years (1974-2023). He was an admired youth baseball coach that Westside had the privilege of having manage the Major's division A's team for decades. Coach Perry was more than a coach, he was a mentor on and off the field instilling in his baseball players the gravity of responsibility and honor. At the closing ceremonies of the 2025 Spring season Westside retired the Major's A's and John's number, 11 in his honor. Coach Perry started every game by reciting the Little League Pledge and in his honor we have committed to keep his tradition alive.
