So excited to share! Tyson and the Local Grain Services are getting us a new Scoreboard!! We also got a new BP Turtle. Good things are happening in Pioneer Nation!!!! So blessed to be along for the ride.

Pioneer Nation, I’m extremely excited to announce Senior Sam McKinney has committed to play Baseball at Jackson State and will be a Green Jay next year. But before that happens we have some unfinished business to take care of here at home! #WeAreGCHS

Proud to announce my New Pitching Coach, Matthew Pickard.  He's a graduate from Trenton Peabody and pitched collegiately at Northwest Community College and Union University.  Not only does Coach Pickard bring his knowledge as a pitching coach, but he's a great Baseball guy and the boys, along with the saff, will benefit from having him!  It's a honor to been able to coached him as a youngester and now have him going in the trenches with me as an equal!  Thank you Coach Pickard for making the decision to be with us.  #WeAreGibsonCounty

When Michael Wickersham works to leave his mark on a program, there is usually success in the formula.  From his time with University School of Jackson, Crockett County and Brighton, he has built a winning program.
