SUMMARY: Happy Monday and welcome back! We're nearing the end of the 2024 High School athletic year with the baseball state championships starting this week. Representing the coast are the Van Cleave Bulldogs, who are making their first trip to Pearl since winning the 4A State title in 2018. They secured their spot by defeating South Jones for the South State title. Many Bulldog team members have played together since middle school, which they believe will contribute to their success. The team has strong chemistry and a winning mentality. Van Cleave plays Wednesday and Friday night, with the George County Rebels also competing.

It's the first trip back to Pearl for the Bulldogs since winning it all back in 2018 in the 4A title game.
