All-Sports Hall of Fame
The Coaches
Listed below are those selected to the OCHS All-Sports Hall of Fame, including their year of selection.




Baseball
 Coach Dixie Howell
Howell's baseball teams were 122-41 over 11 seasons from the mid-50s to the mid-60s, when he was succeeded by Fred Haack. His .748 won-lost percentage is the best in OCHS baseball history and his clubs won a half-dozen Cape-Atlantic League championships. He and Fenton Carey are the only two people to be selected to the OCHS Hall of Fame in two different sports. Dixie was also selected for boys basketball (see below). Selected in 1992.

Boys Basketball
 Coach Jack Boyd
His teams won 227 games, also winning the South Jersey Group 2 championship in 1971-72 and Cape-Atlantic League title in 1972-73. His teams also lost in CAL playoffs in 1969 and 1983. Boyd won 20 state tournament games and he coached 381 games, more than any boys basketball coach in OCHS history. He took over when Dixie Howell retired in 1968. Selected in 2002.

Coach Dixie Howell
Over 16 seasons, Dixie's teams won two state championships, three South Jersey titles and nine CAL crowns. His teams were 277-69, including 48 straight wins and eight consecutive league championships, still a record for the CAL's National Conference. Dixie went on to become Ocean City's first Director of Athletics. Selected in 1989.

Girls Basketball
 Coach Pat Dougherty
Dougherty finished her remarkable career with a 269-65 record, including 119 straight victories and nine CAL championships in 14 seasons. She came to OCHS from Atlantic City, her alma mater, where she was head coach for two seasons. Her 1978-79 team won the South Jersey championship in their fourth straight appearance in the final, but lost in the state final to Paramus Catholic, led by 6-7 Anne Donovan, a two-time Olympic gold medalist. Selected in 1990.

Football
 Coach Fenton Carey
Carey, a player at Ocean City in the 1930s, coached football for 10 seasons, winning 61 games and losing just 26. He got off to a great start, winning 31 games over his first four seasons. His coaching career was interrupted for one year when he spent 1951 on active duty with the US Navy. The high school's field at Sixth Street was re-named in honor of Carey and his brothers, John and Lou, in the 1980s. Fenton was also selected to the OCHS Hall of Fame (see below) as a swim coach. Selected in 1990.

Coach Mike Slaveski
Slaveski became head coach in 1969. It took a few years but his 1972 team was 8-1, starting a string of winning seasons and a 28-9 record over his final four seasons. When he stepped down as head coach, Slaveski's record was 36-26-1. But he developed a systematic approach to Ocean City football that had an influence on all four of his successors - Ed Woolley, Tony Galante, Wayne Colman and Gary Degenhardt. Selected in 1992.

Swimming
Coach Fenton Carey
Carey brought swimming back to OCHS in 1956, resuming a full schedule in 1958, and promptly guided the Raiders to new heights. His teams had 11 consecutive winning seasons. Overall, he was 115-33 as a swim coach, mostly against big schools from throughout the Delaware Valley. Carey's teams also won five relay titles and two New Jersey Seaboard championships. Selected in 1989.

Girls Track
 Coach Mike Naples
His teams won five South Jersey championships and two state titles. In addition, six more teams finished second in South Jersey and seven were among the top three in the state meets. Naples' teams also won 16 straight Cape May County championships and 13 Cape-Atlantic League titles. His overall record of 133-8 is the best of any OCHS coach in any sport. Selected in 2002.
