The Early-Season Lab: Tight Games, Tough Tests, Better Baseball | Ep. 3

Houston County head baseball coach Matt Hopkins recaps a strong 2026 start (3-1) featuring a split with North Oconee and a 6–0 shutout win over Jones County.

Coach Hopkins explains how early games help define the Bears’ identity, lock in the starting rotation, and develop bullpen arms, highlighting surprise innings from Michael Lyons and the push to build depth before region play.
