Barry Mabry-A Coach’s Farewell-
Tonight was a special night for baseball at Greenville HS. Not only did they recognize their departing senior class but also they honored Head Coach Steve Scolamiero who is retiring after 22 years. For those that have gotten the opportunity to get to know not only this great teacher of the game, but also a great teacher of life, I can say he is one that will be greatly missed.

Broome senior 2B Brooks Richardson made a commitment to play baseball at USC Sumter.
Chapman senior OF Jacob Scruggs made a commitment to play baseball at USC-Salkehatchie.
On Thursday night, Blue Ridge senior LHP/OF Hunter Wheeler made a commitment to play baseball for North Greenville
DP dipped into class I A baseball tonight as Southside Christian hosted two-time reigning state champions St. Joseph’s Knights. Two future Citadel Cadets were slated to go up against one another which sparked even more interest. All four arms that threw tonight project to be pretty good, not to mention I might have found a diamond in the rough.
A solid region matchup between two teams that are tied for first in Region II-AAA got my attention tonight and there were a handful of prospects on display. Greenville Red Raiders (on paper) may have the most talented team in 3A baseball this season and Eastside, even losing key seniors last year, still have a couple of prospects themselves. Another beautiful night for baseball to be played!
Last week, Laurens senior MIF Hammer Walker made a commitment to play baseball at USC Salkehatchie.
Today was officially opening day for MLB which just makes life better. This spring has been horrible so far weather-wise, but today was about as picture perfect as one could ask for. Here in the upstate the sun was out and temperatures got up to almost 80 degrees. The remainder of the week looks good as well for a full slate of baseball to be played/made up. Tonight was a single game between JL Mann versus Laurens.
