Brian,
Things look wonderful! I am excited about what God is doing here!
Brian,
Please keep me posted as it relates to the summer baseball league (age group, sign-up, etc.). Thanks so much for your efforts to bring baseball to more communities. May God Bless and Keep you safe. I have two boys (Xavier and Jamian) ready, will and able to play baseball. They are anxious to get started. They also attended the recent JSU Baseball Camp.
Thanks Charles! Please keep checking the website because I will post all the details on the summer league soon. We’re still meeting and trying to work it all out. Thanks again!
Brian,
I was wondering how I may be able to get involved with Mississippi RBI. I think it is a wonderful opportunity for our area baseball players, and something that is very important for our community as a whole. Please feel free to check out our team website at http://www.baseball-teams.com/teams/rhsrangers.
Damon Bailey
Head Baseball Coach- Raymond High School
Damon, I’ll email you. I’m the sports marketing guy at Hinds CC so we’re both in Raymond. We’ll catch up because this is not the first time I’ve thought about incorporating Raymond.
We were just trying to survive last year (year 1) and do what we said we were going to do in Hinds County. -Brian
