SMITH SETS NEW RECORD TO WIN IRON EAGLE CHALLENGE Quade Smith (Brandon) finished in first place in three of the seven individual events to claim the Hinds Community College baseball program’s annual Iron Eagle Challenge in December 2013.

As a mental and physical conditioning exercise, the baseball team each year divides into the gray and maroon teams, with both sides competing for points. Individual players can also win points in the competition.

Smith, a freshman outfielder and 2013 graduate of Northwest Rankin High School, finished with 745 points, shattering the all-time record in the history of the challenge.

Previous winners of this decade include Beau Wallace (2012, 610 points), Kirk Thornton (2011, 530 points) and Trey Prentiss (2010, 540 points).

Smith was also a member of the Gray team (5,990 points), which defeated the Maroon team (4,535 points) to pick up the resounding team victory.

Day one of the challenge consisted of the dumbbell bench press, combine shuttle run, backward bag pull and team shuttle run, which was a team event. All of the players on the winning team in the team events each earn 100 points apiece, while the losing team members all collect 75 points apiece.

Day two consisted of the towel hang event, plate carry and timed mile.

The final day saw the Eagles compete in the tire flip (team event) and finish with the grueling obstacle course event.

The top five players that placed are as follows:

1st place - Quade Smith (745 points)

2nd place – Brian Mills (675 points)

3rd place – Randy Bell (480 points)

4th place – Luke Reynolds & Wesley Wilkinson (tie) (450 points)

5th place – Houston Case (420 points)

JOE G. MOSS FIELD COMMUNITY SERVICE

Joe G. Moss Field serves as the home field for the Hinds Eagles baseball team. During Sam Temple’s tenure, Moss Field has received many improvements, with more to come in the near future.

The lighting system for Moss Field was built in 1999, along with coaches’ offices, press box area and concession stand and bathroom areas. Since that time, the chain link backstop at Moss Field has been replaced with a three-foot high back- stop complete with netting, black vinyl fencing along the first and third base lines and brick dugouts with storage rooms at each end.

In 2007, the outfield was completely redone with a full sprinkler system installed, along with the planting of Hybrid Ber- muda grass. The home plate area also saw an improvement, as a halo circle was added to protect the outer lining of the home plate circle.

Future improvements at Joe G. Moss Field include enclosing the grandstand area with a new roof, a locker room and new coaches’ offices on site. The Eagles currently dress on the first floor of Robert T. Mayo Fieldhouse.
