The Mid-Mississippi Classic this year will truly be a "Classic".  There will be a record 8 teams coming in from Alabama.  Of the 38 games, 37 of them will be Mississippi vs. Alabama games.  There are some prestigious schools coming in from Alabama, putting some of the best in MS against some of the best in Alabama.  The teams from Alabama will be Cullman, Hartselle, Davidson, Walker, McGill-Toolen, Huntsville, Grissom, and Hillcrest High School. Two noteworthy schools are Grissom High School and Cullman High School.  Grissom is coming off a 2010 State Runner-Up Season.  Cullman is also coming off a good year.  Cullman has won 3 state championships since 2002(2002, 2007, 2008).  This proves that the 2011 Mid-Mississippi Classic will definitely be one to remember.  We hope to see everyone out, March 3-5 for some great baseball!

- Holiday News for Pearl Pirate Website

The off season for Pearl Pirates is as busy for our players as the regular season.  This is evident by the activities the players and parents are involved in off the diamond.

Wednesday, December 8, 2010, our baseball Pirates were involved in the annual Salvation Army Christmas Toy Drive through the assistance with US 96.3.  Our players worked several 'shifts' at the local Wal-Mart, where they distributed angels to shoppers, collected toys and helped spread Christmas cheer.  "The day the team worked at Pearl Wal-Mart proved to be one of the highest volume donation times we've ever seen during the ten year history of our association with the Angel Tree program.  Each and every one of you should be very proud of the time you spent at the toy drive." said Scott Steele, morning personality for US 96.3.

Tuesday, December 14th and Tuesday, December 21st, 2010, an assortment of players, diamond girls and parents participated in a fundraiser by working for the Rankin County Newspaper being paper rollers.  Each of these days, approximately 30 people donated their time for the Diamond Club by rolling in excess of 12,000 newspapers each of these days to be distributed to residents of Rankin County.  This type of involvement helps the coaches build teamwork and friendships among the players and parents.  On the second day, while we did not set the record, this group was able to roll the 12,000+ papers in about 75 minutes.

The past several seasons, the Pearl Pirate Diamond Club and high school baseball players have adopted a local family for Christmas.  The anonymous family is chosen based off their immediate family needs, involvement in school activities and community, as well as their faith.  This years' family will receive gifts from Santa Claus as well as the opportunity to have a Christmas meal supplied by the Diamond Club.  The players, through this ministry, are able to see the rewards of giving while providing a family with gifts to show our love for them.

Once again, Merry Christmas! From the Pirate Baseball Team!
