There’s been a change at the helm for St. Dominic once again. Joe Fusco has been named the Head Coach of the Bayhawks ball club, replacing Matt Prokopowicz – who was hired in late 2019 and recently stepped down. Their Head Coach in 2019 was Brian Anderson and the year before was Jimmy Goelz.
Fusco had been the assistant coach at Clarke HS for the past three season where he helped Tom Abruscato lead the Rams to a County Championship in 2019 and a County Final in 2021. He also coaches Team Francisco Select 16u. He stated the team has compiled a record of 78-24 over the past two seasons and ranked No. 60 by Perfect Game.
As a player, in 2018 he was named to Axcess All-Long Island and hit .339 at New York Tech. At Clarke HS, he was 2-time All-State, 2-time All-Long Island, 2-time Conference MVP and 2 time Diamond Award Finalist. As well as County Champion in 2013.
Right now, the Bayhawks could use some stability and have a coach that will be at the helm for years to come and implement their program. The advantage they have is that they have a middle school program so if you get top players in 7th grade, they will be the leaders by the time they are on varsity. Fusco has a good track record and should be able to hit the ground running.
