Head Coach Ben DiBiase enters his fifth season with Davies. He led Davies to a third place finish in the 2000 Upper New York State Tournament. DiBiase also led Davies to a 2000 Tholl Division Championship with an 11-9 league record and 17-12 overall mark. He will be assisted by former Saint Rose teammate and graduate Mark Dorr.

Davies A.C. competes in the Twilight League for its 10th year. Last season, the squad posted a 12-15 league record, including the playoffs, and an 11-13 regular season finish which gave them a second place finish in the Twilight's Tholl Division. Davies A.C. returns 13 players from the 2001 club.

With 13 returnees and key additions, Coach DiBiase sees this year's Davies team vastly improved from a year ago.

Union and catcher Seth Peterson and infielder Wes Dedrick lead the club in their fourth season, while Saint Rose left-handed pitcher and first baseman Kevin Jette, a 2001 Twilight All-Star as a positionary player, returns for his third year. Also, second year pitchers Adam Houghtaling and Rich McDevitt, along with Brockport graduate and former Twilight Most Valuable Player Curtis Nobles, Siena graduate Fausto Franco and Saint Rose infielder Erik Hoover will be key players this summer for Davies. Nobles returns for his fifth season while Hoover will participate in his third year in the Twilight League.

Leading the newcomers is centerfielder Josh Kean of Siena College along with catcher Justin Wolfer of St. Josephs, and young pitchers Mark Bulger of Bethlehem High School and Jeremy Rivenburg of Ithaca College.

The two squads have had great battles over the past few years as Tholl Division rivals...Except for 2001, both have combined to take the previous four Tholl Division championships...Last season, All-Stars took three out of four games in their series.
