The 2021 Delaware Technical Community College softball season has been even more memorable than the team’s 14-2 record as of April 22. The team’s on-field success earned Head Coach Guy Wilkins his 100th career victory on April 10.
“When you have good players around you, a lot of good things happen,” Wilkins said. “Since I’ve been here, I’ve had the honor of coaching good players and great young ladies.”
Wilkins took over the Delaware Tech program in 2016. Prior to that, Wilkins had extensive coaching experience in both softball and baseball. He served as assistant coach and head coach during 10 years with the Delaware Diamonds travel softball team, where he won two national titles, and coached the Big League All-Stars Little League softball team to a Little League World Series win in 2013. Wilkins played baseball at Delaware State University, and served as middle school, junior varsity, and varsity assistant coach at Sussex Central High School for nearly 20 years. H
