- The biggest need is for players to work. Many of you have not responded so please take a few minutes and get back to me. Once again I must stress that to be successful we need maximum involvement. I realize that a few of you may have other commitments and if that the case simple let me know that. If not please take a little time and determine what works best and let me know. I've attached a copy of the work sheet I'm using, so look to see what's available.
- The next need is for help with concession. If you can help please contact Allen Newcomb (anewc7@aol.com 770-330-4446) or Chris Graham (c_graham87@yahoo.com 678-517-5879)

Baseball Program News: Blue Devil baseball shifted into a whole new gear this season – lots of exciting changes were made. We are building on this past effort for 2010:
Coaching: We are proud and excited to have Chris Stafford in his first season with MHS as the head baseball coach. Coach Stafford comes to MHS from North Cobb Christian School. Surrounded with outstanding returning coaches: Col. James Wilson and Brian Kane join him from MHS, and drawing from strong baseball coaching experience in the community to join the Marietta program.
Facilities: Adding to the first-class covered stadium seating and baseball field, is a brand new 4,500 square foot indoor batting and training facility. Outside the pitching mound, home plate, and the infield mix have all been renovated. Both the home and visitor bullpens have been doubled in size to allow for two pitching lanes each. The catcher’s area is now all-weather turf on concrete pads. We installed new backstops behind the bullpens, purchased a new portable batting backstop screen and added a sign to the batting facility. We are also installed dugout fences. We are considering replacing the outfield windscreen, installing benches in the batting facility, building a new sponsor sign board, and many other improvements for this season.
The foundation is being laid for the future of MHS Baseball! These exciting efforts will benefit the program and our players for years to come.
