After opening the season with a road win over Greenbrier, seven of Grovetown’s next eight games have been played outside of the area. And many of those games have been against some of Georgia’s best teams. Saturday’s opponent, Pebblebrook, was the best of the bunch. Here is a quick look at the players on Pebblebrook’s roster who have either signed with Division I schools, or who have offers from such programs:

Blake Hadley – Offers from Elon, Jackson State and James Madison.

Jamal Clyce signed Georgia State

Danny Stubbs signed Georgia State

Tyler Shirley signed South Alabama

Grovetown head coach Darren Douglas talked to us recently about his desire to play the most difficult schedule he can in order to prepare his team for the most successful possible postseason run. Douglas has gotten what he wished for by testing his team early and often. Grovetown will take a 5-4 overall record into Tuesday’s region opener on the road against Alcovy, and his Warriors will be more prepared than had he scheduled the non-region portion of the season such that they would be 9-0.
