A lot of info was given out today. Players seem most concerned with apparel and order forms, but we really need parents/guardians to read the info sent out. If the form is lost or anyone without a form wishes to order something: send item, size(s), and money to Black or Fleming.
A few of our guys were in a wreck tonight. Parents and family will be giving updates, I’m sure. It’s not our place to give out someone else’s business, but know that everyone is “ok” given the circumstances. Please don’t assume or spread gossip. Rather, pray for healing.

Don't say you want to win state like the older guys then show up with a lazy attitude, sense of entitlement, and a lack of effort/assertiveness. That's not "wanting," that's "wishing." If you truly want something, change your mindset or find a new hobby. We want

Friendly summer reminder to present, former, and potential players: what you put on social media can be seen by all, including coaches. Think before you post. How are you representing yourself? Your team?
Have you heard?!?!?! Our major league guys are bringing home the gold!!! The work never stops, and hard work gets rewarded... LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!! Tell
@SHSBaseballClub
congrats, this is HUGE!!!
The season is officially over. Always bitter-sweet in the fact that more games are wanted, but it's a chance to look back and reflect (individually and as a team). The coaches couldn't be prouder with the effort given this season. 8th grade finishes 10-2, 7th grade at 8-3-1.
To say I’m/we are disappointed to not be advancing to Pearl would be an understatement. However, a loss or two on the field doesn’t/shouldn’t define the
@SHSBaseballClub
season and the very special group of seniors who helped elevate the program. Thank you ‘22. We’ll miss y’all.
THANK YOU,

In case you weren’t there and missed this ending, it was the most
#Dirtbag
walk-off that could’ve been scripted! To end it with a hustle infield single while two guys scored from 2nd and 3rd with the ball on the IF? That’s Guntown/Saltillo baseball! Our guys just want it! 🐯 ⚾️
Tigers win on a 2RBI walkoff single by Drake Douglas, and advance to the next round!
Our opponent will be Ridgeland. Games 1 and 3 (if necessary) will be at home. Game 2 will be on the road.
First bit of fun came in today. Cap, team-tee, and alt jersey! 🔥
Should get our in-between sized caps soon. So if a student-athlete doesn't have a cap yet, be patient!
A schedule, some reminders, and a booster club sheet also went home. Check those out.

At this age we need to remember: size will come... But we have to KNOW the game. Learning is key, as is being competitive and having confidence on offense and defense. Working hard, always. Being able to fight through tough situations. And at the end of the day, fun shall be had.
Sent home some goodies and some team information today. Please read the information (parents may have to ask your player for the sheets) as it regards dragonfly, money, and other info. Things that went home today are yours to keep.

allowed us to take over the field for day baseball... Luckily it wasn't a wasted day as our "A" squad squeaked out a walkoff win vs Tupelo. Harwood pitched well and added a H, Bingham picks up the W in relief, and Monaghan gets the walkoff single.
An L will go on the record tonight as the 8th grade loses their first of the season 6-5 to Tupelo. Showed absolute heart and competitiveness until the the last out. Big ups to the Tiger fans for having our boys' backs at all times. Doesn't matter who plays, we fight and grind.
There is NO quit in these

I've had the opportunity to see some of our guys (past and present) play this summer as well as some working hard 🏋. If i haven't seen you in person, know that I'm keeping up with as many of you as i can through other coaches and through posted pics and vids. Keep grinding, Fam.
Some get it. Some haven’t grown up or learned yet. But we WILL treat teachers, classmates, etc respectfully. We WILL put forth positive effort/attitude in class and on the field. We WILL take care of facilities/equipment. We will do these things… or we will find new hobbies.
Whether you're bundled up in blankets around a heater on a MS "spring" day or on the verge of passing out in the blistering heat and suffocating humidity on a summer day, you are there. To all the moms that support us and shape who we are,

Two competitive wins tonight for our 8th and 7th grade guys against a talented/fun group at kossuth. 8th grade battled for a 4-1 win behind a CG by Drake Douglas (11k's), multiple hits from Luke Wood and Mason Easterling, and a legit steal of HOME from Gavin McCoy.

8th grade wins 14-0 over itawamba. Not sure what was more impressive: offensive explosion or defensive showing. Nice win, boys.

First cuts are posted. If you are on the list, you need to come by Coach Fleming's room at some point Thursday to get a physical form. This does not mean you made the team, it simply means we will look at you in the fall after football season. Keep working.
Gotta brag on the guys a little bit... We've been tracking their strength numbers and EVERY ONE of the guys has increased their overall numbers each test from October to yesterday (one test per month). They are working for us! Ready to have all 🏀!

We needed today. We needed to see some things "live." Saw some good things from our guys, saw some things we can work on together and improve. Errors and "bad days" will happen, it's simply part of sports. But we can always control our effort and knowing where to be every play.
Today's spotlight starts shining on 7th grade. First up is Seth Johnson. Johnson is an OF/P for the tigers. Also, I'm not saying he is The Flash, but never seen them in the same place at the same time. Just sayin...

We had a little fun today and had a "team Roberts" vs "team Adams" draft. We allowed the guys to make the lineups and conduct coaching decisions (within reason and with pitch counts). With a tie in the first game, it all came down to the second game with team Adams winning 14-3!
Proud of my guys. Great effort today by both grade levels. Plyo day followed by a half mile cool down. Not an easy day! 8th grade being great examples of our "have fun, work hard" mentality. Keep it up, fellas.

gets to play baseball on Friday! We've seen our club win 2 in a row before. Nothing to it but to do it. Relax, have fun, play ball.
8th grade wins their (shortened) game and 7th drops a close one tonight. We'll see corinth in the Iuka tourney in a few wks, and if it's like the first two games it will be a great one. 7th fought back from a big deficit but couldn't close the deal. Stats from our busy wk 2mrw.

Tryouts will be next Monday and Tuesday (25/26) during school.

Erbody's available for baseball! Had some indoor and outdoor activity going on today. Was fun getting back into full blown practice mode with everyone. After-school practice begins in a couple weeks (Mon/Thurs). First game is in a little over a month 👀
Shout-out to the players, past and present, contacting me about workouts during this time. That's big-time stuff. You either want to get better/bigger/stronger/faster or you don't, no matter the circumstances! Some talk like they want it, but they don't want to WORK for it.
When the field is under water and the gym is occupied, you make things happen any way you can. Our

8th grade loses a tough one on a walk-off 2run single, 5-4. Truth be told, we were lucky to have been in that good a situation. We hit like booboo and fielded like booboo, but we'll be aight. 7th grade game ended abruptly while trailing 3-2 in the middle of an inning(?). Yeah...
3 days, 3 games, 3 wins. Our eighth grade crew has opened up the season with a 3-0 record with wins over Itawamba (x2) and Tupelo. Pitching and defense leading the way. Great start to the season.
