The Vidalia High School Boys’ Tennis Team came out strong in the first round of the GHSA State Playoffs, securing a 3-1 victory over the Dublin Fighting Irish on Wednesday afternoon. With dominant performances across the board, the Indians clinched the win early and now set their sights on the Sweet Sixteen.
Leading the charge was senior Caleb Beck at 1st Singles, who set the tone with a commanding 6-2, 6-0 win, putting Vidalia on the board early. The 2nd Doubles duo of Kingston Swyzer and Sam Varn followed suit with a near-perfect performance, dispatching their opponents 6-0, 6-1 to give the Indians a 2-0 lead.
Stone Smith at 3rd Singles sealed the deal for Vidalia, grinding out a tough second set to take the match 6-2, 7-5 and officially punch the Indians’ ticket to the next round.
Though the match was already decided, 2nd Singles player Larsen Carter had taken the first set 6-4 when the overall match was called. The 1st Doubles team of Ryker Hyers and Sam Varn were unable to compete, resulting in a forfeit and Dublin’s lone point of the afternoon.
With the win, Vidalia advances to face ACE Charter School in the Sweet Sixteen. The matchup is set for Monday at 3:00 PM at the John Drew Smith Tennis Complex in Macon.
Coach McLeod and Gillies praised the team’s focus and intensity, noting that “this is the kind of effort we’ll need moving forward if we want to make a deep run.” (Courtesy of Vidalia Athletics)

In an exciting conference doubleheader showdown on April 25, 2025, the Brewton-Parker Barons displayed dominant form by defeating the Middle Georgia State Knights in both games, with scores of 8-7 in game one and 13-6 in game two, in Cochran, GA. The Barons, leveraging strong offensive performances and strategic pitching, improved their season record to 16-29.
Game one was led by the Barons' offense, featuring J. Reid Phillips and Marquette Gibson. Phillips scored three runs along with three RBIs, and Gibson had two RBIs. Brandon Russell started on the mound and kept the game close, but it was Bryce Morley coming in relief in the sixth who was credited with the win. The Barons carried the momentum of their victory in game one into game two, stealing the series.
Game two kicked off with a bang as Jordan Rahn smashed a 3-run homer in the opening inning, setting a powerful tone for the Barons. This early momentum was further boosted by Jeremi Lara, who delivered a critical 3-run homer in the fifth inning, securing a substantial lead for Brewton-Parker. The team consistently scored throughout the game, reflecting their preparedness and aggressive approach at the plate.
Key contributions came from players across the lineup. Carson Kirby and Kendell Wade each added two runs, while Jack Morris and Jeremi Lara were instrumental, contributing runs and multiple RBIs. The Barons showcased their batting depth as eight different players crossed the plate during the game. Grant Cochran was the starting pitcher, but it was Jack Hulse’s exceptional relief performance, delivering 6.1 innings with eight strikeouts and no earned runs, that truly highlighted the team's defensive capabilities.
The series ends the Barons' season with a win, as they look to build on the lessons learned and carry them into recruiting and the offseason.

Appling County High School will forfeit 10 games from the 2024 football season after the school lost its final appeal to the GHSA last week, leaving its record for the year at 0-14. Before the ruling, the Pirates 2024 record was 10-4. Last season, the team had an impressive run, reaching the semifinals and winning the region title, which will now be awarded to Pierce County. This gives the Bears their ninth region title, marking their second consecutive win.
For the Pirates, this is a significant setback in what had been a promising stretch, having reached the quarterfinals in four of the past five seasons. The Georgia High School Association (GHSA) revealed that Appling County played last season with an ineligible player, although the specific details behind the violation remain undisclosed.
