Heritage Baseball
The Vidalia Heritage
Academy Eagles Baseball
team had a stellar season
as they are back-to-back
GAPPS Class A State
Champions.
In just five years of
varsity baseball, the Ea
gles of Vidalia Heritage
Academy have been to
the State Championship
three times, and are now
back-to-back State
Champions. The Eagles
swept Horizon Christian
Academy in a best-of-
three series at home on
Friday of last week to
take home their second
GAPPS Class A State Ti
tle in a row.
Head Coach Seth
Stizman said after the
games, “It was a fun day.
They kept us on our toes
in the first game as we
were a bit slow to start
off. We battled back in
that first game to win in
the bottom of the sev
enth, and then we carried
that momentum into the
second game and came
out on top. We have great
kids, our seniors have re
ally helped lead us, and I
couldn’t be happier for
all of these guys coming
away with this win.”
The Eagles won the
first game of the best-of-
three series by the score
of 5-4. They carried that
momentum into the sec
ond game and rolled to a
13-0 win to earn the
State Championship.
