New Canyon del Oro baseball coachΒ Keith FrancisΒ β who coached the Dorados the 2002 state championship before moving on to college coaching β inherits a team that had a mind-boggling seven players sign college scholarship papers last week. I doubt anyone keeps records locally of such things, but if thatβs not a record, what is? After signing their letters-of-intent on Wednesday, CDO regularsΒ Nick Ames, who signed with UNLV;Β Erick Migueles, who signed with New Mexico; andΒ Gabe Benavides, who signed with Grand Canyon; drove to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. They were invited to participate in a two-day prospects tournament there Saturday and today. Keep your eyes on Migueles; he hit .520 with 12 home runs for the Dorados as a junior.
