But that’s not the way Coffee’s game against the Ware County Gators went Tuesday at Charles Wilson Field. The Gators also amassed 15 hits. But they pushed across 18 runs (also on 15 hits), including four home runs and nine RBI…
Another round of No Kings protests took place throughout the United States on Saturday. And Douglas was the scene of one such demonstration. It was the fourth demonstration hosted by local organizer Lawton Hurst and the third No Kings demonstration. The first protest, an immigration enforcement protest, took place in February of last year.

On March 28, 2026, across the country, millions of protesters took to the streets to voice their displeasure with President Donald Trump’s policies,…
Last week, South Georgia State College announced a partnership with the University of Georgia Tifton Campus that will allow students to start at SGSC on an agriculture track and seamlessly transfer to the UGA Tifton Campus and finish their degree.

Saturday, the Patriots hosted the Indians and the Eagles for a day of baseball at Patriot Field. The slate began well enough for CCA. Behind a potent offensive performance that tallied nine runs on 13 hits, four of which went for extra…

Ball players share a kindred spirit. It doesn’t matter the sport, the level at which athletes play, or the crowds in front of whom they compete. Sports are important to Douglas and Coffee County. This community celebrates those who take the field of play and give their all, week in and week out. There remains, however, one group of athletes who many times do not get the recognition they deserve. During their season, they slug it out as hard as any other group of players in the county. They aren’t like other athletes. Their abilities may be diminished but their…
