B.J. Moss participated in baseball for all four years of high school, while participating in football and basketball three years each, respectively. During his baseball career, he achieved all WBL honors as an outfielder. He also achieved All-District his senior year. While playing baseball under head coach Greg lnselmann, B.J. helped lead the Bulldogs to two WBL titles, two District titles and the first State Championship in school history in 1992. The summer of 1992 also provided another Championship as he was named MVP of the tournament where the Bulldogs won the ACME State Title in Coldwater, OH.

 

During his football career, he played the Wingback position or “slot receiver” as it more known today. Although he only played in 16 varsity games in his 3 years due to multiple injuries, B.J. managed to set seven school receiving records. In his senior year he was voted 1st team AII-WBL, 1st team ALL-District and 2nd team ALL-State at the receiver position.

After graduation B.J. attended Defiance College where he participated in baseball. He earned the starting role in center field all four years. By the time his playing days were over in 1997, B.J.’s name was scattered all over the offensive categories of the record book. He set the school record for most hits, runs scored, and triples for a career while also holding the record for most triples in a single season. And although those career marks have been tied or passed, he is still on the Top 1O in eight offensive categories in the history of Defiance College baseball. B.J. graduated from Defiance College with a degree in Information Technology in 1998. He has two children. Zac (Sophomore at Ayersville High School) and Mackenzie (6th grade at Continental).
