YHC Baseball Season


It's my favorite time of year again...baseball season at Young Harris College! If you've never been out to one of the games, you don't know what you're missing. Coach Rick Robinson and the YHC Mountain Lions have been GJCAA Champions for 7 out of the past 8 years-only missing it once since 2000.

In 2007 the team went to the Junior College World Series in Grand Junction Colorado (only 10 teams in the nation get to go each year), and though last year Walter's State inched past them for the JUCO spot, we know 2009 is going to see YHC coming back strong!

The first home game is scheduled for Saturday, February 7th at 12 noon at Zell Miller field on the campus of Young Harris College. Though I've asked Coach Robinson to do something about the temperature, be sure to bundle up, it's a little cold in the stadium in February!

Hope to see you at the game!!!

YHC Baseball-Coach Robinson


note: the above article is taken from the YHC baseball website
Congratulations to Rick Robinson-Head Coach of our favorite YHC Mountain Lions Baseball Team-on his 500th Career Win!
Among all his accomplishments (and the list is a long one), I think the best thing about Coach Robinson is not that he leads his team to know the value in victory but rather that he leads his team to know the value in the Lord. It's rare in life to find people who are able to do both!
