Calvary Baptist Church in Monticello is hosting a men’s conference on Saturday, February 24.  We will begin the day at 8:00 am with donuts and coffee.  The conference will begin at 9:00 am with song and worship.  The conference will end after lunch.  Lunch will be provided for all those in attendance.

The Weevils traveled to Searcy, Arkansas to take on Harding University in a non-conference mid-week game on Tuesday. The Boll Weevil offense proved dominant as UAM came out with a 15-0 win over the Bisons for Head Coach John Harvey‘s 500th career win.

Coach Harvey took the helm of UAM Baseball back in 2011, claiming his first of 346 total current wins with the program against Tougaloo College. Harvey has been a head coach since 2005, starting at Henderson State University, where he led the Reddies through the 2005-2010 seasons.
