“Toughness is obvious with this group. They continue to play every game until the last out is made. We’ve been in a bind because of injuries the past two weeks, but our guys keep stepping up and I’m proud of them for that,” head coach Jack Edmonson said. “We are excited about conference and a little down time over spring break. It’s much-needed.”
The Bears (16-7) travel to Poplarville on Tuesday to take on Pearl River in a doubleheader.
