Team Capsule: Hartsville High School Red Foxes

The Hartsville Red Foxes are 10-4 and 6-2 in region play (at the time of this post). With four region contests remaining and sitting atop the standings, Hartsville has its sights on the region crown. For SBC week though, thoughts of a region championship will be put on hold. There will be another title run on the minds of Red Fox players and coaches: the elusive and illustrious SBC championship.

Led by all-around dynamo and the reigning co-statewide player of the year, Cam Cannarella, there is optimism that the Red Foxes could claim their first outright SBC title. That's something that Mother Nature denied them the chance of in 2019, as Georgia Premier Academy and Hartsville claimed a split of the title after Friday's championship game was washed out.

SBC Schedule for the Foxes:

Tuesday, April 19 vs. Andrew Jackson at 7:30pm
Wednesday, April 20 vs. DeMatha at 7:30pm
Thursday, April 21 vs. Paul VI at 7:30pm

The Red Foxes will also play on Friday, April 22. That game time and opponent will be determined by Tuesday-Thursday’s outcomes.

The Red Fox roster is comprised of 9 seniors, 4 juniors, 4 sophomores and 2 freshmen. Check them out below.

Charismatic on the Mic: Don't Miss John Wall at the 2022 SBC!

In baseball, coaches love hard-working players who run out every ground ball and back-up every throw. In baseball, coaches also love players with natural talent. For generations, the natural abilities of players have left us in awe. From the behemoth blasts of Babe Ruth to the sheer speed of Rickey Henderson and from the sweet swing of Ted Williams to the overpowering fastball of Aroldis Chapman, coaches and fans of the game have been mesmerized by players' natural talents.

At the SBC we have a similar talent to Williams and Ruth at the plate, Chapman on the bump and Rickey on the bases. We have John Wall; a natural talent with the microphone in his hand. His commentary and colorful narration throughout the week provide a unique experience for players, coaches and fans.

John, a fixture on the SBC Board since its inception in 1997, brings equal parts SVP, Bob Uecker and John Saunders when the mic is in his hand. He's entertaining and spontaneous, yet relevant and insightful. He's a fan of the game, knowledgeable of its nuances and, above all, loves the people who are involved with it. John also does a great job of passing along the legend of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen to younger generations who haven't been exposed to the "Woooooooo" in any of their previous YouTube searches.

Without fail, every coach and player who comes to The Jimmy for the SBC, leaves with a friend named John Wall. Don't miss him at the 2022 SBC. Click here for the 2022 game schedule.
