(Franklin, GA) — Heard County’s Matt Hornsby earned his 200th win as head coach earlier this season when the Lady Braves knocked off Jordan 15-0 at Heard High.
The Lady Braves coach wasn’t even aware of the milestone until his girls asked for a game ball prior to a game so they could autograph it as a memento for him.
“I had not thought about reaching 200 and I had no idea why the girls were asking me for a game ball that day — but it was pretty cool for them to think about me,” says Hornsby.
It was actually assistant softball coach and head baseball coach Trent Bianco who first realized Hornsby was near the milestone.
Coach Hornsby is originally from Carrollton where he attended Central High School. After graduating from Central High School, Coach Hornsby attended Andrew College on a baseball scholarship. He finished his collegiate baseball career at The University of West Georgia, where he graduated in 2009.
