When you can be comfortable around another person and they are also your best friend, don’t let that go. It’s the best feeling you can receive.

Super proud of this young man!

After a great conversation with Coach Harrelson I am blessed to receive an offer to continue my baseball career at NEMCC.

Murray St. making it to Omaha is one of the best stories in college sports. This is their stadium it holds 800 people. Their head coach Dan Skirka literally cuts the grass.

Gotta feel good for those guys.

[Mississippi Sports @SocialSportsMs]

Brian Middleton, state championship coach from Tish County who had previously won a state title at Oak Hill, named new NEMCC women’s basketball head coach. Congrats!

To a few generations of baseball loving boys in Ripley, Joel Gafford hung the moon. The next generation, kids just about to enter junior high or a little younger, they had “play for Gafford” on their bucket list.

Joel Gafford is the winningest baseball coach in Tippah County history. He was at Ripley for 15 years and there are students playing for the Tigers who have never known anything but the nicknames, quotes and program that Coach Gafford built.

There were more than a few times that Gafford and I talked about how the Tigers would graduate a big, successful class and everyone would write them off in the preseason the next year only for his Ripley squad to win a bunch of games, make the playoffs, win a district title. He would always credit that to the program that was in place more so than anything.

The sudden loss of someone who became synonymous with Ripley baseball gives the current Tigers returning next season a unique opportunity. You heartbreakingly won’t get to play for Coach Gafford next season but you will get to play FOR Coach Gafford. Meaning: you get to carry forward the program as a standard bearer for the next generation, a lofty expectation for high school students but one I know your coach prepared you for.

Excuses are for those who need them.

Eat breakfast. Go Tigers.
