INTERESTING FACTS:  Currently stationed at the Joint Staff, Pentagon, Washington DC.  One of my co-workers is an Army LTC (Jay Moughan, didn’t play baseball), that attended Middle Georgia and lived in Talmadge Hall the same year as I did.  I didn’t recognize him at first but have enjoyed reminiscing about Middle Georgia.

 

MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT:  The friends on the Middle Georgia baseball team and playing for Coach Barry Shollenberger.  He was a great coach and left the summer after my freshman year, which was the main reason I didn’t return to Middle Georgia for my sophomore season.

 

MOST UNPLEASANT EVENT:  Losing to South Georgia in the post season tournament.  We had already beaten them 5 out of 6 times, and then dropped two straight to them in the post season tournament.  South Georgia went to Miami to play Dade CC but lost 2 out of 3.
