Dodge County High School went out over the offseason and installed a new name at the top of the baseball totem pole. Former Indian Matt Smith is now the head coach in Eastman and is looking to bring some notoriety back to the program. Matt was one of the best to come through the program, so he brings a plethora of knowledge with him. Will they see immediate improvement? That remains to be seen. Th...

Hello again! I'm back at it again with some Dodge County football news, and it comes in the form of a season recap from their QB Kain Mincey. He and I sat down on what was a cold, very rainy evening in Eastman. That didn't stop us from chopping it up about a sport we both share a love for. The main topic of discussion was to be a recap of the 2025 season where they fell short of expectatio...

It's always best to end something on a better note than how it all got started. The Lady Indians softball team in Dodge County was sitting at 0-6 when I last spoke with head coach Blakelyn Cook.

A couple weeks ago, I was able to meet back up with Coach Clint Sanders, the head coach of Dodge County High School's flag football team. This marked our 3rd episode with one another and the optimism levels within the program still sit quite high. There's a sense of unfinished business there. Everyone loves to see a team with a chip on their shoulder. Being sent home one step away from the...

The start of the 2025 high school softball season hasn't gone nearly as well as head coach Blakelyn Cook and everyone else has expected. The thing to remember here is that if you experience losing streaks like this, it's in everyone's best interest to have it happen early in the season. Strong finishes make everyone either forget about the early woes, or look back to reflect on what th...

The University of Georgia once again lost some key players at important positions to the draft. A few also made their way into the transfer portal, but who are we kidding, who's not falling victim to this nowadays? Heading into 2025, the biggest storyline is the emergence of Gunner Stockton, the new face at the QB position. The amount of trust being put into this guy, coupled with the small ye...

The Middle Georgia Knights baseball team began their 2025 run a mere few weeks ago. It goes without saying that the consensus about last season could be summed up with one word: Disappointment. Finishing one game above .500 and being heavily dependent upon playing at home isn't the way to go. Who doesn't love a bounce back story though? Aside from his personal story, that's exactly wha...

We are mere days away from the college softball season starting. Both players and fans are eager to get rolling. The action and the grind behind it all is what we all live for. I was given the opportunity to sit down with senior first baseman Abbey Flowers to talk about the upcoming season, her returning from an injury, the boost that the newcomers seem to be giving the roster, this senior class&#...

We're going to be short and simple today guys, the Sugar Bowl and the 2024 season for the Georgia Bulldogs left much to be desired. But if we all back up and look at the big picture here, the numbers for the year aren't that bad. Finishing 11-3, while still managing to win the SEC Championship with mediocre performances at best should make us see the season as successful with room for much needed...
