Something tells me that these 4 jerseys would have led the 2020 team so well that we’d be playing today, the last possible play date. I’d like to give one more tip of the cap to these 4 young men who deserve much more than 2020 gave them!

Mr. Gordon, likely telling a first year head coach what he could do better...it was a LIST, most likely. James passed away today. What a contributor to the game of baseball and softball and a mentor to coaches all over West GA. RIP James Gordon.
These players, these coaches, these fans!!! So proud of our guys fight and our coaches’ hearts. They love on these guys every single day and pour everything they have into them! Thankful for a community that loves and supports their Red Devils!!

Graduation Week!!! Never too late to celebrate these guys! I’m so proud of how these gentlemen handled 2020. Their humility and resolve will be talked about for years to come! I may even add Corona to the “cuss word” list on their behalf!

Dragging the field tonight and my guys stopped me to snag a picture to post. Great reminder to slow it down and take it in!! Thankful for a group of dudes who work hard everyday!!

@GaStateBaseball
is getting a good one! Hard working young man who is only getting better! Excited to watch him play and lead during these final 2 seasons of HS play! Congrats!
Hard fought, come from behind 7-3 win against a tough Trion team!! So many guys unselfishly contributed. Scales and Messer get the gloves for their clutch performances at the plate. Karlo threw 7 strong innings on the mound!! That win secured the 4 seed in our region tournament!
Finally got the reels on it today! Long time coming. Got our legacy sponsor signs up too!! Ready for the home opener on Monday! Hold off, rain!

FINAL | Bowdon 13, Charlton County 3.
After dropping the opener, the No. 14 Red Devils mercy-ruled the No. 19 Indians in back-to-back games to win the series. They’ll take on No. 3 Baconton in the second round of the Class A Public state playoffs next week.
Congrats to our football players and coaches! Another final 4 here in B-Town next week. Rematch of last year’s state championship game vs. Schley County!
W.C. Roop Field was officially recognized as one of the best in the state this past weekend at the GA Dugout Club coaches clinic. Our players are truly blessed to be able to call “The Roop” home! Thanks to

Proud. These ladies fought and made it to the last day! There’s only 32 teams in the entire state that can say that they played on the last day! Proud of these seniors and of this team! 3 of the final 4 teams from our region. Made your community proud!!

Great turnout for the 2023 Old Timer’s Game. It was great to catch up with everyone! We appreciate the impact that everyone has had on the Red Devil Baseball Program. Wouldn’t be here without you!! Until next year! 💪🏼
Lady Devils take game 2 over Seminole Co. 6-0 behind a complete game, 1-hit shutout by Roze Langley!! Both Laken and Roze took perfect games into the 6th inning!!! Timely hitting and good defense helps!! It’s a GREAT day to be a Bowdon Red Devil!!

Class of 2020. You’ll be known by your work ethic, belief in the process, and deep playoff runs! A Sweet 16, 2 Final 4 appearances, and no doubt would have lead our team deep this year! We love and appreciate all 4 of our senior Red Devils! Going to honor a player per day.
The good guys take the dub in the 75th matchup of this awesome rivalry! Many, many multi-sport athletes to point out tonight. There are baseball & basketball guys all over the field! Congrats players and coaches!! Hard fought come from behind win!

Split a DH vs 2 quality AA programs in Model and Heard County tonight. Edged out 5-3 by Model and came out on top of Heard 8-7 in the nightcap! Guys fought hard today.

Always good to beat a rival, especially when our softball team beat them this week too. Congrats to our guys. Makes you feel good when your center fielder has 472 picks on the night especially when one of them was one handed...with the glove hand!

Braden Bowen. Braden left his mark on the program by securing each of our 6 playoff wins in 2019 on a historic run to back to back final 4 appearances. He is an emotional competitor who helps his team in many phases. Fish, you will be missed around here!!
#senior2020
Felt like a home game last night even though it was 2+ hours away. I am blown away at the support shown to us by our small community during this playoff run! Visiting BES and BMS yesterday on the way made it that much better. Thank you, Bowdon, you’re the best!

Our program had the opportunity to help by giving out food and presents to those in our community. We lead by serving and we are proud of our guys being selfless today!!

Brandon Sheets. No doubt that when Brandon walks into the locker room, you will know. One of the loudest and happiest guys you’ll find. Developed into quite the leader for our team this year! Sheets, you will be missed!

Carson Cummings. Carson is every coach’s dream, a true program guy! He put in 4 years of work and owned his position at 3B for our program in 2020. Quality glove, quality bat, quality relief, & most importantly, a quality young man! We will miss you Carson!

Hearts are heavy this evening as we learned of the passing of Baconton Charter’s head baseball coach. Coach Newberry was going to begin his first year as head coach. Our thoughts and prayers are with the community, players, and the Newberry family.
Congrats to
@willrainwater2
for being named GA Dugout Preview 1st team all-state and to
@will__huggins4
for 2nd team all-state. Can’t wait to see our team on the field in 2023.
Congrats to Dalton Ballenger, Will Huggins, & Luke Windom for being chosen to compete in the middle school all-star game tonight. They helped the Bowdon Middle School Baseball Team win the small school championship this year!
Today would have been the “last official play date” for the 2020 regular season. Our seniors would have played beyond today but to honor them, here is a video tribute to show them some love. Give it a retweet!
