I like to say a special hats off to Stephen Head a good ball player and a very good young man. Stephen is going to be a good hitter and pitcher this year in the SEC. He will contribute a lot to the rebels!!!!

Congratulation To A young laid that I watched from his early age growing up and knew he was going to be a very special player. Mr Head is on another great start of the season was chosen SEC player of the week again. Also, would to say Congratulation to Clay Dirks another fine Mississippi ball player who has had some great progress and hats off to LSU for getting him ready.
