Devils on All-Middle Georgia Team
06/26/09
Dwight Gatlin

Recently the All-Middle Georgia Baseball team was announced via the Macon Telegraph. Patrick Mayo was named to the 2nd team as a pitcher while both James Hall and Dylan Folds were listed as Honorable Mention.

All three young men deserved a “higher ranking” but, as we all know, the paper caters to the private schools in Macon, where they sell the most fishwrappers.

Next season Hall will be play for Lagrange, Mayo will be at MGC and  Folds will be a Junior for the Red Devils.

Congrats to all three young men!

Successful Spring Sports Season For Devils

Hall Signs With LaGrange College
5/20/09
Andy Hill

Red Devil athletic teams have recently concluded a successful spring sports campaign that saw three different teams qualify for state round playoff action along with two individual athletes.

 

The Red Devil tennis teams - both boys and girls - advanced to the state tourney.  The boys won Region 2A division and then advanced at the region tournament before falling in state playoff action.  The real surprise was the girl's tennis team.  The girls put on a gutsy effort to upset the Taylor County Viking girls at the region tourney to qualify for state action.  The came after a season that saw them lose twice to Taylor County prior to the region tournament.  No state crowns came from their efforts, but for sure the word "successful" can be associated with their efforts for the spring.  Congratulations to Coach Nate Thompson and all the members of the tennis teams.

 

Two members of the Red Devil track team also advanced to the state track meet in Jefferson.  Cameron Moses won the region title in the 800 meter run for 2009.  Additionally, Travarious Lawson placed 2nd in the 300 meter hurdles which earned him a spot in Jefferson as well.  Javon Thomas (discus), Shannon Williams (100 meter dash), and Dontavious Austin (300 meters) also placed in the region track meet though they did not qualify for the state track meet in Jefferson.  Congratulations to all those participants!

 

The Diamond Devil baseball team was seeded 4th from Region 2 as they entered the state playoff action.  As many of you know, a 4th seed earns the "good fortune" of having to travel and play a #1 seed -- certainly a daunting task.  To add difficulty to this already incredibly difficult task, the Devils went on the road without Mart McCleod who suffered a severe concussion and Dylan Folds who had a badly sprained ankle.  Nevertheless, in a hostile environment and with nearly "all the cards" lined up against them, the Devils shocked the #1 seed Bacon County Red Raiders in the third game of their series with a "reach down deep, never give up, don't quit" performance to upend the highly favored Raiders with a thrilling 7th inning rally.  This series will go down as on of the best efforts the Devils have put on in quite a while!  The Devils fell in the Sweet 16 round to Calvary Day -- a team that has now advanced to the Final 4.  Congratulations to Coach McDuffie and his staff of Cote Jones and Will Conner as well as all the players for a Diamond Devil season that will not be soon forgotten!

 

Senior centerfielder James Hall signed today (May 20th) with LaGrange College to continue his baseball playing career.  Hall, along with his parents, signed his letter of intent today in the library of the high school before a sizable number of well wishers that included fans, teammates, media representatives.  Below is a photo made at the signing.  Congrats to James and good luck in LaGrange!

Diamond Devils Advance To Sweet 16 !!

The Devils played Round 1 against Bacon Co. Red Raiders Friday May 8, 2009 with a split of a double-header sending the teams into the tie-breaker on Saturday May 9, 2009.   For those of you who were not able to attend the games missed some good baseball.  I can tell you that it was one of the best Mother's Day presents that I have had. 

In game one the Devils started off a little sluggish but came alive in the 5th inning for a 9-5 win.  The Devils scored only 1 in the first with a walk to Hall and advancement by Keen and Mayo and scoring on passed ball.  The Raiders capitalized on several Devil errors and walks to score 5 in the 1st inning.  The Devils added 4 tying the game up at 5 each in the 3rd with a little help from the Raiders and some fine base running for the Devils.  The game remained scoreless for the Raiders through 7 innings of play but the Devils rallied again in the top of the 7th to score 4 more runs.  The Devils had some clutch hitting added to some timely errors by the Raiders to end the game at 9-5.  Only 6 hits were accumulated for the Devils with 2 runs earned.  Pitching for the Devils was Patrick Mayo allowing only 2 hits with 6 Ks.    

Game two was the typical wheel off the wagon game with the Raiders hitting the ball hard and capitalizing on the Devils' errors. The Devils bats were flat tallying only 2 hits by Patrick Mayo (a homer and a single).  The Devils scored 4 runs with 1 being earned.  Pitching for the Devils was James Hall, Regis Pitts, Jacob Mimbs and Freshman Taylor Garnto.  This was Garnto's 1st Varsity pitching debut and was a character building experience for him.  "Submarine" Mimbs pitched 4 innings in the middle and had the Raiders off guard for a while. The final score was 22-4 in 5 innings.

On Saturday Game three was played in the sweltering heat but the Devils were hotter.  The Devils' "fried up a big mess of Bacon".   The Devils came out swinging and were the first on the board after a single by Hall and a single by Keen, scoring Hall, and a 2 run homer by Patrick Mayo.  Attempting to ignore a recent injury Dylan Folds took the mound but the pain was more than he could pitch through. Mayo re-entered the game as pitcher but the Rebels scored 3 unearned runs following a bases loaded single down 3rd base line.   The Devils scored one more in the 2nd as did the Rebels.  In the 3rd the Devils went ahead by 1 run but the Rebels couldn't answer.  The Rebels went ahead after scoring 2 in the bottom of the 4th and the momentum began to build for the Devils with a questionable balk call on Mayo.  The Devils were determined yet scoreless until the top of the 7th when the Proverbial "wheels came off the Raiders' wagon" and the horse ran off.   The inning began with 2 base hits by Keen and Mayo.  Folds' hit a high, hard pop-fly to the right fielder who tried to throw it before he caught it and this scored Keen tying the game with 2 men still on base.  Mimbs got on by a perfectly executed bunt and no one was on first to cover loading the bases.  Jacob Quick came to the plate and with 2 strikes on him hit a line drive up the field which rolled through the centerfielder's legs rolling all the way to the fence scoring all four Devils.  The Devils did all this with no outs and they weren't finished yet.  After a walk to Thombley and a bunt by Dupree to advance him Pitts hit a line drive too hot for the shortstop to handle.  Hall brought Thombley and Pitts in with a hard hit to right field.  The Devils had batted around now and were starting over.  Keen connected with another hard hit followed by a fielder's choice by Mayo to 3rd.  Folds nailed one to right field scoring both Keen and Mayo bringing the total runs scored to 9 for the inning on 7 hits.  The Raiders had one more bat which was not long.  It took only 8 pitches.  The Devils won the game 14-6. 
This win places the Devils in the final 16 teams remaining in the play-offs and the opportunity to advance to Round 2 of the state play-offs against Calvary Day of Savannah on Wednesday May 13, 2009 in another best 2 out of 3 series.  The first game will be at 1:00 p.m. at Bethesda Children' s Home Field in Savannah.  The second game will immediately follow and if needed the 3rd game on Thursday at 1:00 p.m.  "Ain't" it great to be a RED DEVIL!!!

The Hustle Award trophy was presented to Akebia Jenkins.  The Coaches Award trophy was awarded to Brittany Palode.  Sharinea Coley was presented the Best Defensive Player trophy.  Coach Hill then stated that the final trophy was the Most Valuable Player trophy.  He told the crowd that there was no way he could pick a single player for this award.  Coach Hill stated that without either one of these two players, he was lost.  The MVP trophies were then awarded to Kamara Bembry and Ykeshia Baker.

 Coach Hill then went on to thank Coach Cooley for his assistance with the Lady Devils this year.  He stated that he was used to working alone and had to get used to working with an assistant, but that he was glad he had someone to bounce ideas off of.

Coach Greg Ellison then recognized the Red Devil basketball players.  Each player received a certificate indicating that they had earned a Varsity Letter in basketball.  Each player also was presented with an individual participation trophy.  Also recognized were the managers for the Red Devils.

The next order of business was the presentation of trophies.  The Most Improved Player trophy was awarded to Brandon Adams.  Coach Ellison then presented the Coaches Award trophy, which he stated was like an MVP trophy as far as he was concerned.  The Coaches Award trophy was presented to Deion Colson.

 Hawkinsville High School Principal Mary Royal then made some closing remarks.  She thanked the Swick family for all they do to help the basketball program.  Mrs. Royal then recognized Mr.Beck for donating the Red Devil statuettes to the seniors.

Unfortunately, these statuettes were not available for this banquet yet do to Mr. Beck's illness.  She stated that we should send him get-well wishes.  Mrs. Royal also stated that it is unusual to have a school board member in attendance at almost every basketball game and thanked Mrs. Gwen Brown for her continued support of the basketball program.  Mrs. Royal then concluded the evening by thanking all the parents, fans, and coaches for their continued support and help with the basketball program.

         GO BIG RED!!

Tennis Update
Boys Clinch Sub-Region Title
4/15/2009
Andy Hill
 

Coach Nate Thompson happily reported that the Boys Tennis team clinched the sub region title with a 4-1 victory over Turner County.  It was the second time the team has defeated Turner County this season. Needing only 2 winning matches to become sub-region champs, Wade Fegley and Kyle Holloman quickly put their opening opponents away.  After that, the Devils had clinched the sub-region championship and a berth in the state competition.  The boys swept the sub-region this year.  The boys team finished with an 10-3 regular season record while the improving girls team finished at 4-9.  Below are a couple of photos of Fegley and Holloman just after their big wins and an action shot of Betsy Henry who had a very good year as a sophomore and has a bright future.

Literary Team Takes Region Crown
 

Boys Tennis Team Has Only 1 Loss
03/13/09
Andy Hill
 

The Hawkinsville High Literary Team took first place in Region competition this week and now moves to state competition next weekend.  Among the outstanding performances were:

Jessica Preskitt - First Place Girl's Solo

Jessica Preskitt/Jenna Preskitt/Caitlin Johnson - First Place Girl's Trio

Jacob Quick - First Place Extemporaneous Speaking

Tara Montgomery - 2nd Place Extemporaneous Speaking

Chandrea Brown - 2nd Place Dramatic Interpretation

Donald Bryant - 2nd Place Essay

Team - OVERALL FIRST PLACE!!

Great Job!!

 

The Boy's Tennis team is off to a fast start and has taken control of the sub region.  The team record only has one blemish with that coming to AAAAA Warner Robins.  To clinch the sub region the boys must simply not "go to sleep at the wheel" when they face Turner County in an upcoming match in Hawkinsville.  The Devils have previously defeated Turner County by a 4-1 score in Ashburn earlier in the year.  Senior Kyle Holliman leads the team and has but one region defeat.

 

Good luck and Go Big Red!
