Bulloch academy senior Heaven Hinton, seated second from right, signs a letter of intent Tuesday to play softball for East Georgia College in the programs inaugural season. Seated left to right: Sister Kailey Hinton, mother Tina Hendrix, Hinton, EGC coach Jordyn Nail. Standing left to right: BA athletic Director Clint Morgan, BA softball coach Chandler Dennard. Hinton who is also being courted by EGC to play basketball, is the seventh official commit to the softball program which is being built by Nail, a former Georgia Southern softball player. Hinton originally wanted to play intramural softball at Georgia Southern, but the competitiveness wasnt there. She is excited about the chance to help build a junior-college program, much like she did in high school. I feel like our senior group of girls helped start Bulloch Academys program, making it to the Final Four every year and making it to the state (championship) game which was fun, Hinton said. I feel I kind of started BAs program with the three other seniors. Im excited about (EGC). Its something new and theres not all that tradition, so I get to help start and lay out the groundwork for East Georgias traditions too. Hinton will be roommates at EGC with future teammate Ashley Clifton of Southeast Bulloch, who also recently signed with East Georgia. - photo by MATT YOGUS/staff
