PHILIP BARTLESKI COVENANT SCHOOL ‘02 OKC UNIVERSITY ‘07 ALL-VISAA NY YANKEE FARM SYSTEM
THE NEXT STEP
Philip Bartleski was the centerpiece of the 2002 Covenant baseball team that made the state final four. However, that was only the beginning of his career on the diamond. After his time with the Eagles, the former All-VISAA hurler played at powerhouse Oklahoma City University and helped the Stars win a national title in 2005. Bartleski majored in Kinesology and shortly after his graduation he was signed by the New Yankees as an undrafted free agent. He started out playing for the Yankees’ Single A affiliate out of Staton Island before working his way up to play AA ball for Trenton in 2009. The former Eagle played professional baseball for six years before hanging up his cleats in 2012. A truly local product, Bartleski came through the Dixie Little League ranks, and his time at Covenant helped him with his long journey from OCU to playing minor league baseball.

TEAM SPOTLIGHT ORANGE COUNTY GIRLS HOOPS Basketball players too often are confined to the gym, avoiding the elements that so many other sports teams have to endure. Not the Orange County girls basketball team. Through their outdoor, occasionally muddy Saturday workouts, the Hornets are putting in the work to become a better program and a more cohesive team by learning to rely on each other. Keep working hard Orange County!
