As the North Hall baseball team boarded the bus April 21 following a loss at Dawson County — its sixth defeat in the previous seven games — to close the regular season, coach Trent Mongero delivered a strangely optimistic message to his players. “‘You guys just watch what a story we’re going to have,’” Mongero told his team. In the four weeks since then, the Trojans have penned quite the tale. North Hall swept Calhoun with wins of 10-1 and 3-0 Wednesday night at Jody Davis Field in Gainesville to advance to the Class 3A state championship series.
