Longtime Assistant Peraza Replaces White as Baseball Coach at Oxnard

George Peraza, an Oxnard College assistant baseball coach for nine years, has been selected the school’s head coach, Athletic Director Don Brockett said Tuesday.

Peraza, a teacher at Thousand Oaks High, replaces Jerry White, who had been the coach at Oxnard since 1978, excluding 1986.

White guided the Condors to five Western State Conference divisional titles and eight appearances in the WSC playoffs. White compiled a 235-100 record while coaching at Oxnard and Moorpark colleges and Hueneme High.

When White resigned in July because of health reasons, he strongly recommended Peraza as his replacement.

Rich Herrera, White’s other assistant, recently was named coach at Westlake High.

Peraza was an assistant under White at Oxnard and Moorpark for 12 seasons.
