BASEBALL
Continued from 1C
playoffs, Mary Persons has built
a strong and sustainable program
over the years with a bright future
to come. The Bulldogs finished 22-
13 on the year and have a talented
group of players set to return next
season. The 2022-23 season had
started off strong in spite of losing
a few players to Academy Schools
and losing the first game of the
season to a talented West Laurens
team which was also eliminated
over the weekend by a Whitewa
ter team who also had a victory
against the Dawgs. MP showed
that they could compete against
anyone including some teams who
have had tons of success through
out the years. Wins against Marist
and Columbus early in the season
really helped boost the confidence
when the team went for a rematch
against a West Laurens team on
the road which was a 10-9 battle
into the 9th inning. At the end,
the Bulldogs bounced back after a
record setting previous season that
was torn apart by a disappointing
first round exit. Now they look to
continue and try to figure out how
to get past round two in the years
to come.
