An alumni between South Gwinnett High School baseball players will showcase the athletic talent that can be found right here in Snellville.
Montrell Marshall was drafted out of high school by the Cincinnati Reds and was most recently playing Independent Ball. Chad Smith was drafted out of SGHS by the Texas Rangers and Caberea Weaver is currently with the Chicago White Sox organization.
The impressive list of Major League Baseball-caliber players are a part of the alumni game which takes place at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the school.
SGHS Baseball Head Coach Ryan Patterson played at the school from 2009-2013 and hopes people come to support the school’s players – past and present.
“Because I played here and know what this program can be, as well as wanting the community involved with what we are trying to do here, we will be hosting the first annual Alumni South Gwinnett Baseball Game,” Patterson said. “We would love for you to come out and watch us see if we still have it, I will definitely be stealing an at bat at some point.
There will also be a raffle for a Navy Blue Yeti Cooler with South Baseball engraved on it. The winner will be announced at the game. Tickets are $5 and you can buy them by contacting Patterson at Ryan.Patterson@gcpsk12.org.
