Eric’s attention to detail is unmatched, and he will have direct input into our practice plans and game strategy. Eric observes so many things on the field, during both practice and games, and the adjustments we make from his input are crucial.”

“Coach Zebley has watched the CACC teams and local opponents very closely for the last few years, and his scouting of those teams will be helpful as we prepare to battle in this extremely competitive region,” continued Harvey. “Having followed the high school talent and the travel ball circuit, Eric will also be very instrumental in recruiting. His knowledge of the game is second to none, and I feel he will be a huge asset to the softball program here at Wilmington University.”
