They do everything together, including win Warren Area High School's first District 10 baseball championship since 1977.

There were nine seniors on the field to start the Dragons' 2-0 win over Cathedral Prep last Monday in the District 10 Class AAA championship game at Ainsworth Field in Erie.

Catcher-Andrew Bevevino; first baseman-Preston McMeans; second baseman-Eddie Dorunda, shortstop-Kory Thomas; third base-Kevin VanOrd; left fielder-Dan Maeder; center fielder-Chris Danielson; right fielder-Matt Jaskolka, and; pitcher-Hank Morrison.

All seniors.

"Nine starters - we've never had that many (seniors start) before," said Warren head coach Jeff Passaro.

Now those nine seniors will lead the Dragons into the PIAA Class AAA Tournament against Thomas Jefferson at 6 p.m. Monday at Slippery Rock University.

And call it what you will, but there's a definite chemistry with a group of boys that have been hanging out together their entire lives.

"I know them better than I know anyone," said Bevevino.

On and off the field.

"It makes it a ton easier," said Morrison. "I can throw anything I want to (to Andrew) because I trust him. He's been a catcher his whole life, and I think it makes a big difference with the chemistry."
