Habersham County Church League Softball

My name is Greg Hansard and I am the Children’s Pastor at Maysville Baptist Church in Maysville, GA. We are having a one pitch softball tournament for missions on May 17^th that will start at 8:00 in the morning. We are trying to get 10 teams to participate in a double elimination tournament with game times being 30 minutes. This is not a sanctioned tournament and we do allow teams to pick up players throughout the day if someone has to leave. We are doing this to raise money for our mission trips. We have a group of college students going to Central Asia and our youth are going to 2 mission camps here in Georgia this summer. We will be selling concessions all day. We will have 1^st -3^rd place trophies for the winning teams. I am looking for help with teams as we would like for mostly church teams to be involved. The entrance fee is $100 per team. Please let me know if you can help or if you can be me contact information for the churches in your league.

Thank you,

Greg Hansard

Congratulations to Hillside Baptist and First Baptist on going to the District Softball Tournament.

Please memo all your managers about the situations below. Field usage at this time of year is very tight and many times groups are coming in after one another. The rule of thumb should be if a field has been worked and lined, and your team is not scheduled there, that field needs to be left alone. Also, AC#1 is strictly a 90’ baseball field. Please share this with them as well. Let me know if there is anyway I can help to expedite this. Thanks.

Homeruns: “A” league - 5 homeruns and then a single / “B” league - Equalizer rule will be followed

With an average age of 40, no one thought Cornelia First Baptist would have the stamina to play the entire season, much less finish up undefeated. But big performances out of those guys on their way down the other side of the hill (Larry & Ronnie Parham, Joey Duncan, Dr. Bray) along with those guys teetering on the top of the hill (David Foster, Mark "Whoooaaa" Garner, Tim Arrendale, Dale Dorsey, and Brad Simmons) helped achieve this feat. Not to mention that almost every game there happened to be one big inning they played way over their head and scored 20 or more runs. With an early season injury to veteran Rob Roland, some one had to step up. Perry Dalton was there to answer the challenge, as well as Mitchell Thomas, who had to sacrifice family time for the taste of victory. Once again the softball world is sent into a tail spin wondering what is next.... Ronnie Parham retiring???? Don't count on it.

Ed, Do not worry First Baptist, people will forget about your undefeated season just like they did about Grace Calvary's 2000 season, when we went undefeated. We were better known as McDuffie's Orange Crush that year. How soon people forget
Grace Calvary

That is correct folks, Grace Calvary went 16-0 in the 2000 regular season, How soon we do forget.
