All-Empire for 4 baseball Dragons, Lyons coach of year

Hernandez, Swanson, Son, Deely honored

After leading the Sonoma Valley High School varsity baseball boys’ team to the Sonoma County League title, followed by winning a pair of North Coast Section Division-3 games before being edged by top-seed Acalanes in an NCS semifinal in May, four Dragons and their head coach recently garnered more honors.

Named to the large-schools All-Empire first-team were Sonoma’s senior pitcher Michael Hernandez, senior third-baseman Christopher Swanson, and junior first-baseman Jonah Son, with sophomore shortstop Dan Deely being a third-team pick.

All four Dragons were also SCL all-league first-team selections.

Receiving the All-Empire coach of the year award was Sonoma’s head coach, Don Lyons, who also was the SCL’s coach of the year.
