A trio of Patriots combined for a no-hitter while Gray McLean and Thomas Gentry each paced the CCA offense with 2-3 days in their impressive six-inning, 10-0 win over the GHSA Class 2A Therrell High School Panthers Friday afternoon at Truist Park in Atlanta. Playing in the Atlanta Braves’ home stadium, starter Blake Bryant set the tone early with another dominating performance. He mowed down the Panthers, needing just 53 pitches in his four innings of work. Bryant struck out eight and walked one. Skyler Woods and McLean each pitched a hitless inning in relief. The Patriots scored two in…

By Van Yandell Exodus 5:1 “And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.” “Interesting” is not adequate to describe the connections we find throughout the Old Testament to the New Testament in God’s Word, the Holy Bible. The creation in Genesis 1 connected to John 1:3 in the NT is an example. I often refer to “God-Jesus” in a prayer or sermon and Christians have asked me why I do that. It’s because the Bible tells us that…
Thomas Gentry and Clay Phillips combined for a one-run two-hitter in the CCA Patriots’ 3-1 win against the Pinewood Christian Academy Patriots Tuesday night in Bellville. Gentry threw 52 pitches over three innings, giving up one unearned run on no hits. He struck out four and walked two. Both teams scored a run in the first; when Gentry left the game after the third, the score was still tied. CCA scored a pair of runs in the fifth to take a 3-1 lead with Phillips on the mound. He grabbed the win with a two-hit, six-strikeout performance. In the first,…
Brice Marchman and Tanner Langley homered in the South Georgia State College Hawks’ 7-5 loss to the #15-ranked Georgia Highlands College Chargers Tuesday at Crider Field on the SGSC campus. The Hawks took a 3-0 lead in the first on solo homers by Marchman and Langley. They also scored a run on an RBI groundout by Steven Tavares-Batista. That was the last time a Hawk would cross home plate until the bottom of the ninth. Marchman led off the ninth with a double then scored when Cole Rambler singled. Rambler made it home on a 9-3-2 double play; he scored…

If I told you that the Coffee Trojans scored 10 runs on 15 hits – two of which were doubles and two more where home runs – and one Coffee pitcher threw three innings, giving up one run on one hit while striking out four and walking one, you’d probably say that the Trojans had a pretty good day. 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. Since then, two No Kings protests have taken place – one in June of last year and another in January of this 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,…

Behind a potent offensive performance that tallied nine runs on 13 hits, four of which went for extra…
