The Canton High School Athletic Department is happy to announce the hiring of Greg Digirolamo as our Head Varsity Baseball coach. Digirolamo will be taking over for JP Scott who resigned this past fall after four seasons- guiding the Bulldogs to the MIAA tournament for three of those seasons.
Digirolamo is a CHS graduate excelling on the diamond under long-time Bulldog coach- Tom Healy in the late 80s, leading the Bulldogs to a Hockomock Championship in 1988. After a successful high school career, he headed to North Adams State College (now Mass College of Liberal Arts) where he enjoyed much success as a four-year baseball player. Digirolamo was a very successful player in the Boston Park League where he enjoyed a success 17 seasons as a player and several as a coach. He was twice honored as Coach of the Year in the Park League and has been enshrined in the league's Hall of Fame. He also served as assistant coach at Malden High School for a six-year stint.
Digirolamo is excited to get to work at his alma matta and realizes that nothing will come easy in the competitive Hockomock League. "I couldn't be happier to come back and coach where I played my high school ball," said Digirolamo. "A true bucket list opportunity that I will take great pride in. Go Bulldogs!"
A meeting will announced soon for players to meet the coach and sign up to play. Watch this blog for updates.
