Eagles look to next spring

By Scott Wanish, sports editor
The Sunday Sun

After this spring’s 8-19 record, Del City head baseball coach David Weaver is seeing steps in the program building up to a competitive Class 6A team.

“We had a really good summer record,” Weaver said. “Ricky Hammer threw the ball really well.

“Now, we’ll have senior pitchers and will have some time to develop someone else. Both Ricky (Hammer) and Matt (Dauz) have both paid the price facing 1s and 2s.”

Hammer and Dauz, the Eagles’ top two throwers, will be seniors in the spring of 2009 and were the victims of low roster numbers at Del City while facing rugged 6A competition. It was Hammer that pitched a huge upset bid over No. 1 seed Edmond Memorial in regional play that doused the Bulldogs’ chances of making the state tournament thus allowing Moore to sneak in.

This summer when the Eagles finished 14-6, Hammer went 6-2 and Dauz 5-3.

Del City beat Westmoore, El Reno and Tecumseh this summer as notable wins.

“Dauz was our most consistent hitter this summer season,” Weaver said. “He hit the ball and played really well.

“We have some young kids that stepped up and we’ll go to battle next spring with a more experienced ballclub.”

Brandon Barnes (first base), Chase Davis (catcher), Byron Brockington (left field) Hammer and Dauz all will be seniors.

As for underclassmen, Julian Brockington, Ryan Abram and Joe Reser will be juniors.

Abram is the nephew of past 1989 Del City All-Stater Darnell Abram, who helped out Weaver in the summer program.

Also, former 1980s second baseman Brian Garcia has his multi-talented son now attending Del City. Kyle Garcia is a up-and-coming freshman that also stars on the wrestling mat.

“Kyle played excellent defense at second base and shortstop,” Weaver said. “It’s neat to see someone (Brian Garcia and Darnell Abram) put support back into our program.”
