Chenango Hellcats announce 2017 coaching staff, and new Junior Hellcat program

CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County American Legion baseball program is expanding in 2017 to include a Junior (16&U) team. This team will be comprised of the best players from all school districts in the county. These players will compete for a New York State, District #6 championship.
The Junior Hellcats will be headed up by current Norwich Varsity Assistant Coach Nick McCullough.
Coach McCullough led the Norwich PONY league program to a 2016 Otsenango Championship title. Notably, McCullough is also a legion baseball alumni and former Norwich standout. Assisting him – also a Hellcat alumni – and former Norwich High School stand out catcher John Yacano.
Chenango County Hellcats Sr (19U) will be head coached by Norwich standout and SUNY Brockport pitcher Ben Barnes, who is also an alumni of the program. Assisting Barnes will be another Hellcat alumni, Elmira College center fielder and Oxford High School standout – Cameron Heggie.
“Both bringing quality collegiate experience to the program further strengthens the players’ abilities,” said Jason Miller, Hellcat team manager.
The new program aims bolster the strength of the players, and provide them with a foundation they need to succeed at the higher levels of play. It also builds long-term continuity within the programs, and affords the best players in Chenango County to showcase their skills without participating in cost prohibitive travel programs.
“You can think of these teams as all-star teams comprised from players from Norwich, Oxford, Afton, Bainbridge-Guilford, Sherburne, Otselic Valley, Unadilla Valley and Greene,” said Miller. “With Ben, Cam, Nick and John at the helm of our programs, we only see positive results in our communities and the box scores. These are outstanding young men, which will have a positive impact on all the players who join the Hellcats.”
The Chenango Baseball Association, 501c3, is proudly supported by legionnaires of the posts in Chenango County, and very gracious sponsors.
