Griffith, Smith representing Team Georgia in Heartland Baseball Classic
Local standouts chosen after sterling senior seasons
Placeholder Image
Andrew Smith and Sims Griffith are friends with the same expectations in the Heartland Baseball Classic, even though they will take very different roads once this week-long baseball showcase for some of the nation’s top talent representing seven different states is complete in Oklahoma. “It’s one of those experiences that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Griffith, who recently graduated from Gainesville and will continue playing baseball at Furman University next year. Smith, a two-sport star and recent North Hall High graduate, may be playing baseball for the last time, after hitting .495 with 22 RBIs and 52 runs scored as a senior for the Trojans.
