SHIVER ME TIMBERS!

Shiver me timbers! The Outer Banks Daredevils rebranded, now the Scallywags

By Danielle Puleo; The Coastland Times

Ahoy matey! Are ye ready for a whole new experience this summer at the ballpark? The former Outer Banks Daredevils have been relaunched, relocated and now rebranded. The team is pleased to announce their new name: The Outer Banks Scallywags.

The rebrand follows a three-year, pandemic-related hiatus for the collegiate summer baseball team. Founded in 1996, the former Daredevils have been bringing excitement to the island’s ballparks for years. This season, they’ll return to their original field at Manteo High School, with a packed game schedule running from June 1 through August 5.

With new faces behind the team, a new look and a new season on the horizon, everyone is gearing up for a whole new experience with the Outer Banks Scallywags.

The name came from the area’s well-known history of pirates. “I don’t know that there’s a more conspicuous connection with Outer Banks than the pirates,” Dooley said. The Scallywag’s Vice President, Meredith Howell, grew up on the beaches of Nags Head and was always “enthralled” with the history of pirates on the Outer Banks. “Based on trade routes, this part of the Outer Banks was so effective for pirates, not only at sea but on land.” She shared, “It was exciting to start thinking about the pride in our area and the stories that there are to tell about the Outer Banks and tie that in with the team.”

Meredith and her husband Jason Howell, team president, have worked in tandem with one another alongside Dooley to handle the merchandising and rebranding of the team, weaving Meredith’s knowledge of the area’s history with Jason’s love of baseball to create the Scallywag theme.

While maintaining a strong tie with the area’s history was top priority for the team, Dooley shared that the staff wanted to create an unforgettable experience for guests. The pirate theme will be present throughout – from a themed concourse with interactive games and scallywag-approved social media opportunities, to Davy Jones locker-worthy food and beverage options to an in-character broadcast, complete with pirate lingo and Old English dialect, to a new line of merchandise, attendees are in for an all-out pirate-themed baseball adventure.

“We are thrilled that the team will be in Manteo,” shared Jed Dixon, Manteo High School booster club president. Dixon will also head food and beverage for the games; all proceeds from concessions will go back to the MHS athletic booster club. “Having the team play at Manteo really benefits our baseball program. Young kids can come in and see players playing in their hometown, it’s really a win-win.” Dixon said the MHS athletic teams will have the opportunity to sign up for different weeks to work the concession stands throughout the summer, sporting new Scallywag gear and serving ballgame favorites.

Pastor Marc O’Neal will serve as the Scallywag’s team Chaplin. Having grown up in a baseball family and playing throughout school, O’Neal was eager to serve the team. “I had heard that the team was coming back and would be located in Manteo, and thought about how our church could be of service to them.” O’Neal sought out Dooley and the two discussed ways in which the church could be involved, such as helping find host families, providing meals, organizing banquets and possibly offering bible studies to the players. “We’re working out the details, but the way I envision it is to offer bible studies during week, one-on-one time to talk or ask questions, making sure my office is open, meeting them out on field…really help make this a successful year for the team.”

The Scallywag staff hopes that the return, relocation and rebranding of the team brings the community together and gives everyone an opportunity to enjoy a night out at the ballpark. “We want this to excite our locals and our tourists, and give them a reason to drive to Manteo,” Dooley offered.

DAREDEVILS CHANGE NAME TO SCALLYWAGS

As part of our rebranding, the Daredevils have changed their team’s name and are now the Outer Banks Scallywags.

Following a long and storied history playing under the moniker of the Daredevils, the club has decided to rebrand the team, tying into our local lore of the pirates who once haunted these dunes and inlets, and have taken a new name, and will henceforth be the Outer Banks Scallywags.

Additional information will be added in the coming days, but join us in celebrating the new name, new brand and great collegiate summer baseball. Make plans to join the Scallywags this summer, individual game day tickets are on sale now, as well as season passes.

New Scallywags merchandise should be available on our website in the coming days. AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGG MATIE… The Scallywags be upon us.

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED

Host families are the backbone of collegiate summer baseball, providing a safe place for the players, coaches, and interns to stay during our summer season. Host families provide a bed, a place to store their belongings, a small amount of space in the pantry/fridge to keep some food, access to restroom/shower facilities and to laundry facilities if available, for a player or two, depending on the space available.

The players will begin arriving the Tuesday following Memorial Day, depending on when their collegiate seasons ends. The summer season runs from June 1st through August 5th. The 8/5 end date is assuming we go all the way to a game three in the league championship series, something that would be nice, but not guaranteed. Should our postseason dreams of a championship end early, the players will begin leaving within a day or two of our last game.

Being a host family is rewarding in and of itself, and having these players staying with us in the community allows them to become integrated into the community more fully, and relationships built during our short summer season last a lifetime. Our host families also receive complimentary season passes, good for all Scallywags home games, and we also have our annual host family appreciation night at the ballpark, where we recognize our host families during the pregame festivities. Finally, we host our end of the season, host family banquet, where we wrap up the season, present our annual team awards to our players, and enjoy one final meal together as a family before the boys of summer head back to their homes to prepare for another school year. 

If you would like to serve as a host family this summer, we would love to have you join the team behind the team, our great host families.
