Three-time winner

when he played for three winning teams. (Janice Becker photo)
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
With the tremendous support of
the extended family and
accommodating coaches, Darcey
Cook of Blyth was able to not only
play on three ball teams this
summer, but be part of three very
successful ones.
Cook, the 13-year old son of
Debbie and Steve Cook, began
playing ball for Blyth when he was
just four-years-old.
Though he had some experience at
the WOAA level when Blyth teams
were included as a wildcard in the
play-offs, this is his first season of
playing in the tri-county league with
the Hullett PeeWees, WOAA
(Western Ontario Athletic
Association) with Howick and
OASA (Ontario Amateur Softball
Association) with Chepstow.
Debbie says Darcey was able to
get to the almost nightly
commitments with the help of
grandparents or an aunt and uncle
who would chauffeur either him or
his sister Michelle when the family
needed to go in two directions.
Between practices and games,
Darcey was -busy six nights a week,
including OASA tournament games
on many weekends and Blyth soccer
matches thrown into the mix.
Darcey became involved with the
Chepstow team after a parent at one
of his WOAA Howick games
suggested he should consider the
next level..After a few calls, he was
part of the team.
"Involvement at all three levels is
good for him," says Debbie. Aside
from the experience, Debbie says
Darcey has learned how to be a team
player with different groups of boys.
And that team spirit shone through
in the season's results.
The Hulleu tri-county team only
lost one game during the regular
season and won the year-end
tournament.
Howick did equally as well, going
undefeated through the season and
beating some of his OASA
Chepstow teammates, who also
played at the WOAA level, in the
playoff finals.
Chepstow earned the OASA
provincial C championship title,
though missing the opportunity to
compete in 'the Eastern Canada
championship.
Darcey was also very pleased
when his name was mentioned
alongside another OASA player
Jared Clancy, whom he admires for
his skills. In a Chepstow-area paper,
it noted that the "outstanding
defensive plays by Clancy and
Cook" helped keep their opponent
off the board.
Darcey is an all-round player
having played almost every position
on, the diamond for one or more of
the teams. For Hullett and Howick.
he often pitched, but also caught,
played the infield positions and right
field.
Though he has a preference for
shortstop, Darcey said he did play
right field at times for his Chepstow
squad.
"Darcey made some great catches
in the field," says dad Steve. He
threw out a player trying to steal
third and even got a runner out at
first on what normally would have
been considered an obvious single.
While playing for three teams may
be sharpening Darcey's skills, -it is
the love of baseball that keeps him
enjoying the busy schedule. "I hope
to play for the men's softball team in
the Olympics one day," he adds.
The Cooks credit all the coaches
for whom Darcey played, with
helping the youth play at all levels
with no conflicts.
"They kept the lines - of
communication open," says Debbie.
"They understood if he had'to miss a
practice, as long as he was on the
field somewhere."
