Carson Huggins (right) followed in his father Shane Huggins’
footsteps as he trains to be an umpire. He hopes to officiate
at the high school and college level in the future.
UMPIRE: Team includes
father and his teen son
FROM PAGE ONE
“He’s getting an early
start on training and I’m
proud of him,” he said.
“This is something we
can do together for the
rest of our time together.
It’s a very difficult job
and you can run into
some tough situations.
My son has mentioned
he would like to officiate
high school level ball
and move up to officiate
at the college level. He
presents himself well and
the coaches like him.”
Carson stopped play
ing baseball to join his
dad on the field and also
started playing golf to
spend time with his dad.
He is in his fifth year at
Skipstone Academy and
will be entering tenth
grade in the fall. He was
on the Skipstone golf
team in his freshman
year as he played the
sport competitively for
the first time and won
the state championship.
Carson plans to join
the U.S. Air Force after
graduation and hopes to
be a pilot. His two broth
ers are Cameron Huggins
who is a U.S. Marine and
Seth Huggins who is a
student at Valdosta State
University.
Shane says there are
many reasons he likes to
officiate games. He said
he sees players putting
pressure on themselves
and sometimes having
a bad day and he loves
to hear parents and fans
supporting them and
cheering for them in
stead of telling them they
are doing it wrong.
“1 say relax, keep it
fun, and enjoy the game
experience with them,”
he said. “Before you
know it, you blink twice
and your kids are grown.”
