Malone University Athletics

Korey Heppeard is a 2006 graduate of the Malone University baseball team who stood out in the biggest moments for the Pioneers. He wrapped up his collegiate baseball career with a three-hit shutout to clinch the NCCAA National Championship for Malone, the first and only NCCAA title for the program. That performance helped Heppeard to garner NCCAA Tournament MVP honors in 2006.
 
The Pioneers finished the 2006 season with a record of 40-20 and individually, Heppeard was tabbed as NCCAA All-East Region and All-American Mideast Conference Honorable Mention. As a junior, Heppeard was selected as the NCCAA East Region Pitcher of the Year and chosen as an All-East Region pitcher and All-AMC North Division.
 
Heppeard was 24-9 on the mound as a starting pitcher in 246.2 career innings, the seventh-most in school history in both categories. He had a 4.16 career ERA and 179 total strikeouts.
 
After graduation, Heppeard served as an assistant coach at Olivet College in Michigan. After ten seasons as well as experience as an assistant athletic director, he became the head baseball coach at Station Camp High School in Tennessee and was recently named their Athletic Director. In 11 seasons, Heppeard has led his program to over 200 wins and were state runners-up in the 2024 Tennessee High School Athletic Association 3A Championship.
 
He and his wife Ericka have been married for 16 years and have two children, Eliza and Easton. He enjoys playing golf and being at the ballpark with his family.
