Baseball: Longtime Hamilton Coach Dave Uyeshima is replaced

Dave Uyeshima, who had been coaching baseball at Hamilton High since 1979, has been replaced as head coach.

Hamilton has apparently decided to go “in a different direction,” as administrators like to say.

Hired to replace him is Ruben Smiley, who played minor league baseball, Athletic Director Jim Wiley said.
