In the world of sports, recognition isn't just about winning games; it's about the values, leadership, and sportsmanship that coaches instill in their players. Tony Brewington, the esteemed coach of the CDS Baseball team, exemplifies these qualities and more, as evidenced by his recent accolades (District Champions).

The West Coast Umpires Association, a venerable institution in Hillsborough County, annually bestows the Artie Vasquez Award upon a baseball coach who embodies the spirit of the game both on and off the field. Named in honor of Artie Vasquez, a revered umpire with three decades of service to the association, this award holds special significance. It's not just about victories or statistics; it's about promoting integrity, respect, and sportsmanship within the baseball community.

Coach Tony's receipt of the Artie Vasquez Award speaks volumes about his character and dedication to the sport. Beyond his strategic prowess and leadership skills, he prioritizes the development of his players as individuals of integrity. His commitment to fostering a culture of respect and sportsmanship within the CDS Baseball program is commendable and sets a standard for others to emulate.

But Coach Tony's accolades don't end there. In addition to the Artie Vasquez Award, he has also been named the FAC District 15 | Class 2A Coach of the Year. This further highlights his exceptional coaching abilities and the impact he has had on his team's success. It's a testament to his tireless efforts, dedication, and unwavering passion for the game.

For Coach Tony, it's not just about winning championships; it's about shaping young athletes into responsible, respectful individuals both on and off the field. His coaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, qualities that extend far beyond the baseball diamond and into the lives of his players.

As members of the CDS Baseball community, we are incredibly proud to have him leading our team. His achievements reflect not only his own excellence but also the collective effort of everyone involved in our program.

Congratulations, Coach Tony!
