COACHING STAFF

SCOTT COLBY, HEAD BASEBALL COACH
    Coach Colby is entering his 3rd year at the helm of the Liberty Patriot Baseball Program.  A product of Evergreen High School (Seattle, WA), Colby played out his college baseball career at Green River CC (Auburn, WA) where he earned his AA and Speech Degrees, and at Central Washington University (Ellensburg, WA) where he earned his BAED in Physical Education and Special Education.  Colby earned his Masters Degree in Leadership in Sport & Exercise from Seattle Pacific University in 2006.  Colby is a Hall of Fame Inductee at Green River and was a 2 year Most Inspirational Award Recipient at Central (as voted on by his teammates). 
    Colby's Baseball Coaching Career has seen him in assistant coaching positions at Evergreen HS, his Alma Mater, in 1992 (Seamount League Champions) and in 1997.  He was then an Assistant Coach at Tyee HS in 1998 before taking over as the Head Coach at Pierce CC at age 25 in 1999-2000.  Colby left coaching for a few years as he pursued a career in athletic administration holding positions as Athletic Director at Tyee HS (WSSAA Board, Seamount League AD Secretary, and Seamount League AD President), Sales Development Representative for the Seattle SuperSonics, and Interim Athletic Director at Green River CC.  While getting back into coaching, Colby has been the Head Coach at Interlake HS and Chief Sealth HS.  Additionally, Colby is entering his 3rd year as the Head Assistant and Pitching Coach for the Kitsap BlueJackets of the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League. 
    Colby enjoyed transitioning into his current position at Liberty in the Spring of 2006.  The Patriots finished their 2006 campaign with 12 wins and 10 losses overall; good for a 4th Place finish in the KingCo 3A Regular Season (8W-6L), and 4th in the KingCo 3A League Tournament (1W-2L).  4 Patriots from the Class of 2006 went on to play college baseball. 
    Colby's 2007 squad finished with 12 wins and 9 losses to earn a 4th place finish in the KingCo 3A League regular season (9W-7L).  Unfortunately, the 2007 Patriots were eliminated in the 1st Round of the KingCo League Tournament by the eventual State Champions in Issaquah HS, their cross-town rivals.  3 Patriots from the Class of 2007 went on to play college baseball.   
    Coach Colby is extremely excited about the potential that the Patriot Baseball Program has for it's 2008 campaign.  The 2008 Patriots should be very strong up the middle and should be very deep with pitching, however, the KingCo 3A League will be as strong as ever as it boasts multiple college prospects within it's member schools. 
    Coach Colby, his wife Teanah, and their son Rocco live in Seattle, WA.
