Past meets present as the Georgia College softball team and new Head Coach Jamie Grodecki host alumni at their doubleheader against Carson-Newman College on March 13 at noon and 2 p.m. at the Peeler Complex.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to get together again,” said Assistant Coach and Georgia College softball alumna Mandy Chandler. “Being in athletics, many of my teammates are from different states. It’s hard to get together.”
Alumni will be recognized and presented with a gift of appreciation in between games. Donors and alumni will also receive a T-shirt in appreciation of their support for the team.
All Georgia College students and members of the Milledgeville Baldwin County community are invited and encouraged to support the team and their alumnae at the game as well.
“We have a strong relationship with the community. We want to put a face on the Athletic program and show who they are supporting and what exactly how their support benefits us,” Chandler said.
Coach Grodecki and her team will also host a post-game tailgate style reception for alumnae and their families at the West Campus Pavilion to celebrate the legacy of Georgia College’s most decorated programs.
“This is their home; we want to keep the family close and allow alumni to keep in touch and support the tradition,” Grodecki said. “They laid the foundation, we are just continuing it.”
