Wildcat Baseball Reaches Out with Mini Baseball Camp

Submitted by Stacie Birch

     The  CHS Baseball team, along with head coach Mike Forbes, reached out to help inner city children and held a mini baseball camp at Cadillac Street Park on Sunday, January 26th, 2014.  This was not only a  great experience for all the players and coaches involved, but a great way to give back to the community.   This was made possible by  “Operation First Base," a part of the Istrouma Baptist Sports Organization.  They were invited by M.L. Woodruff, minister of the Istrouma Baptist Sports Organization and former Parkview Baptist High School baseball coach.  This invitation was an opportunity for players and coaches to share the love of things that make differences in lives.  The smiles on these young kids' faces were priceless.  After camp, there were prizes given to every child and lunch provided.  Thanks to everyone involved in this great outreach program for providing a positive, fun experience for these young children.  Thanks also to the CHS baseball team for giving up their Sunday afternoon and touching so many young kids' lives in such a positive way.  Pictured are Coach Mike talking to all the children that attended, and senior Bubba D and junior Adam Porche with Jabare, the youngest child in attendance.
