THOMASVILLE — Thomasville High School baseball has been on a tear in recent years. The Bulldogs have secured six straight region titles despite moving up in class, they have sent many players on to the next level and even saw a former Bulldog compete for a national championship. On Sunday night, head coach Erik McDougald and the Bulldogs program added another achievement to their long list as Hurston Waldrep was pick number 24 overall in the MLB draft by the Atlanta Braves.
“Being with him last night, it really was a roller coaster ride,” said McDougald, who was with Waldrep and his family when he was drafted.
