Canby’s Jack Brauckmiller named to Class 5A first team

Published 10:50 pm Friday, July 25, 2025

Let’s be honest. The Canby baseball team did some amazing things in the 2025 spring season.

The Cougars lost just twice along the way to a second-place finish in the Northwest Oregon Conference, strung together 15 wins in a row at one point, took the third seed into the Class 5A state playoffs, then advanced all the way to the 5A semifinals.

In response, the best of Canby’s best were honored on Class 5A all-state teams, with sophomore pitcher Jack Brauckmiller (he was previously named NWOC Pitcher of the Year) winning a berth on the all-state first team, senior first baseman Colby Herren and senior third baseman Brady Ackerman being named to the second team, and senior designated hitter Dylan Nelson landing on the honorable mention team.

Wilsonville’s Mark Wiepert and Thurston’s Grady Saunders shared Player of the Year honors, Summit’s Alex Via was selected as Pitcher of the Year, and Summit’s Aaron Boehm was chosen as Coach of the Year.
