FROM THE PRESIDENT 

Dear Eagle Fans: 

Welcome to the 2013 season 

and the dawning of a new era for 

Eagle baseball. At MCC, we are very excited about 

our new coaching staff and the improvements our 

Board of Trustees have made at William F. Scaggs 

Field. 

I feel confident that our first-year head coach, 

Dillon Sudduth, will continue the tradition of 

excellence that has been the hallmark of Eagle 

baseball. He is a young man who has paid his 

dues, working in the program under former coach 

Chris Curry, and he brings a lot of baseball savvy, 

energy and enthusiasm to the program, as does 

his able assistant, Thomas Tillery. MCC has, in my 

view, recorded an unrivaled coaching legacy in the 

annals of contemporary junior college baseball 

in Mississippi. No less than three former Eagle 

helmsmen have ascended to the NCAA Division 

I head coaching ranks – the legendary Corky 

Palmer and Scott Berry at Southern Miss and Russ 

McNickle at Saint Leo University. Several others 

now hold positions as top assistants on the D-I 

level. Also, two former Eagle coaches – Palmer and 

Billy Harold Smith – have been inducted into the 

Mississippi Junior College Sports Hall of Fame. 

I am likewise excited about a revitalized Scaggs 

Field – a new field house overlooking the third-base 

line that is as impressive as you’ll find anywhere 

in America on the juco level; all-new fencing, 

including a netted backstop; and a new batting 

practice facility. Other recent improvements include 

a new scoreboard and irrigation system. Scaggs 

Field remains a facility in which our college and 

community at-large can take great pride. 

Finally, I want to take this opportunity to thank you, 

the fans of Eagle baseball, for your support of the 

program. I know our players and coaches will prove 

worthy of that support by conducting themselves in 

a fashion that well represents MCC both on and off 

the field. 

See you at the ballpark. Go Eagles! 

Scott Elliott 

President, Meridian Community College

BUILDING ON TRADITION 

Smith William Field House dedication conjures memories 

It’s a far cry from the pickup truck that once held the team’s gear to the 

newly-constructed 4,444 square foot state-of-the-art baseball field 

house that was dedicated in October of 2012 at Scaggs Field. 

Billy Harold Smith and Terry Williams, two individuals who helped to 

lay the foundation for the storied MCC baseball program, were honored 

when MCC dedicated its new baseball field house in their honor. 

The field house is located adjacent to an all-new batting practice facility 

and hosts a large 40-station, multi-media equipped locker room area; 

shower, restroom and laundry facilities; coaches’ offices; a trophy room 

and a viewing deck overlooking Scaggs Field. 

The concept for the facility – a building overlooking Scaggs Field with 

the dugout connected to the locker room, major league style - was created 

by MCC President Dr. Scott Elliott and brought to fruition by local architect 

Arjen Lagendijk and his assistant, Don Delaney. Much of the labor 

for the project was supplied by students in MCC’s Construction Trades and 

Industrial Maintenance Programs under the direction of Olin Thomas and 

Jim Miles, respectively. 

President Elliott said that Smith and Williams 

were well deserving of having the building 

named in their honor by the MCC Board of 

Trustees. Williams, as a student and employee, 

has enjoyed a 41-year association with 

MCC. He was a player on the inaugural Eagle 

team in 1970 and later became an assistant 

coach and then head coach for one season, 

chalking up a 21-6 record. He then became 

the college’s physical plant director, now having 

responsibility for the maintenance of about 700,000-square feet of 

building space. 

“Terry has done a superlative job for the college over the years,” Elliott 

said. “He plays a vital role in the college’s operations. On the baseball 

front, he has been a part of the Eagle legacy as a player, a coach, and 

an individual who helped to develop our baseball facilities through the 

years.” 

As for Smith, Elliott characterized him as “the father of Eagle baseball.” 

“MCC had three other outstanding coaches (Bill May, Quitman Lockley 

and Williams) who came before Billy Harold,” Elliott said, “but Billy Harold 

to this day has the longest tenure of any Eagle coach at 10 years. He was 

the first MCC coach to lead a team into the playoffs; the first coach to 

record a 30-win season; helped to develop an on-campus ballpark; and 

became the founding father of the Mississippi Junior College Baseball 

All-Star game. He gave his heart and soul to Eagle baseball, paving the 

way for a program that was to become nationally recognized under Corky 

Palmer and Scott Berry. So, I think most people would agree that would 

make Billy Harold essentially the father of our program.”

FACILITIES 

Smith was inducted into the 

Mississippi Junior College Sports 

Hall of Fame in 2009. 

He 

Both Smith and Williams said 

they were honored and overwhelmed 

at the naming of the 

field house in their honor. Smith 

said during his early coaching 

tenure at MCC, “the field house 

was in the back of my daddy’s 

pick-up truck and we traveled to 

John Moss Field.” 

added, “We’ve come a long way.” 

Meridian Community College’s Scaggs Field is considered one 

of the top junior college baseball fields in the country. 

More than just a field of dreams, Dr. William F. “Bill” Scaggs 

became MCC’s first official president in 1968 and served in that 

capacity until the fall of 1998. Under Dr. Scaggs’ leadership, 

the College engaged in an impressive capital improvements 

program, adding several buildings to its physical plant and 

continuously expanding its career and technical education 

and academic programs. He guided the establishment of 

The MCC Foundation, and became one of the state’s leaders 

in educational technology. Upon Scaggs’ retirement, MCC’s 

baseball facility was named “William F. Scaggs Field” in 

recognition of not only his considerable contributions to the 

College but also his abiding love for the national past time.

may lead us in appearances this year. He has a great temperament on the 

mound and just pounds the zone from underneath.” Sellars has shown 

breaking ball command and will only continue to improve.” Freshmen 

Andrew Crook, Michael Druhan, and Chad Hinton will all add depth to 

the Eagle bullpen. 

CATCHERS 

Freshmen Garrett LaRosa and Kevin Hall look to fill the void left by All- 

American and 13th round draft pick Wade Wass. “I really like the two 

guys we brought in. Garrett has been outstanding for us since the day he 

stepped on campus and Kevin has all the tools to be a great player,” said 

Coach Sudduth. Dallas Hannah and Luke Stanley both lend depth behind 

the plate as secondary catchers. 

Brandon Smith

PITCHING 

The Eagles have some holes to fill as they graduated five division one 

signees from last years’ staff. MCC will look to sophomores Brandon Smith 

and Mitchel Babb to lead the way as they enter the spring penciled in as 

the top two starters. “Brandon Smith is a winner whose teammates love 

playing behind him. He made a jump this fall with increased velocity and 

a tighter breaking ball,” said Coach Sudduth. “Mitchel is as talented as 

any LHP you will find at this level. He showed greater command this fall 

and will play a large role for us.” Lamar School grad and Meridian native 

Witt Haggard could fill a variety of roles for the Eagles. “Witt has made 

huge strides over the past year. He could be a starter or find himself at 

the back end of the ball game.” Blake Barrow and Jace Belcher round 

out the returning arms. “Blake is a tremendous competitor who can give 

you a different look out of the bullpen with his low arm slot,” said Coach 

Sudduth. “Jace Belcher is a left hander who will have a big year for us.” 

Freshmen Kellon Hibbard and Dylan Sellars and Andrew Crook look to 

parlay their improvements made this fall into innings this spring. “Kellon

INFIELDERS 

First baseman and Meridian High grad Dallas Hannah returns to anchor 

the infield. “Dallas is an above average defender at first and got big hit 

after big hit for us last year.” Tanner Vandevere and Michael Williams 

both gained experience last year and are in the mix to be everyday 

players along with several newcomers. Mac Seibert, Levi Runyan, Ben 

Gann, Grant Hill and Brooks Balisterri are the freshmen competing for 

spots around the infield. “We like our options on the infield. It’s an 

athletic group and each guy brings something different to the table,” 

said Coach Sudduth.

OUTFIELDERS 

Leading the way in the outfield is centerfielder Jonathan Youngblood. 

Youngblood decided to return to the Eagles for his sophomore season 

after being drafted in the 15th round by the Pittsburg Pirates in last 

June’s draft. “We’re pretty comfortable with Johnny leading off and 

playing centerfield for us as one of the nation’s top players.” Blake Barrow 

and Alvin Franklin are the most experienced returning outfielders as they 

combined to start 57 games last year. Charles Morton and Luke Stanley 

have been getting defensive reps in the outfield this year after spending 

the majority of their freshmen seasons at other positions. “Charles was 

really impressive for us this fall offensively. He has matured so much 

physically since he got here and is a presence in the box.” Freshmen 

outfielders Andrew Crook and Paul Angel round out the outfielders. 

“Paul is talented and hard-nosed and is going to challenge for a starting 

position in the outfield.”

#6 • Dillon Sudduth 

Head Coach 

First Season 

Dillon Sudduth was named the next MCC head

the top spot after five highly successful seasons as the 

top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the 

Eagle baseball program.

All-Americans and the program’s all time leading 

home run hitter. As a recruiting 

coordinator, seven signees have

first signing class included 

Corey Dickerson who came 

to Meridian undrafted and

year under Sudduth’s guidance. 

Kenny Roberts became one 

of the premiere power hitters 

in the country in 2011 before 

signing with the University 

of Alabama. This past season, 

Wade Wass was named an All- 

American while leading the 

country in home runs. 

was one of the top offensive teams in the country 

during the 2011 season with a team batting average 

of .330 and 62 home runs as a team. The Eagles had 

three players with at least 10 home runs and those 

included: Ben Kingsley, Kenny Roberts and Wade 

Wass. 

Sudduth began his coaching career after playing at 

Southeastern Louisiana University as an infielder 

under Coach Jay Artigues. He spent the first two years 

of his collegiate playing career at MCC as an infielder 

for the 2004 World Series team and 2005 State 

Championship team under coaches Mike Federico 

and Chad Caillet. Sudduth was a two time All-State 

pick as a shortstop at Madison Central High School in 

Madison, Miss. 

During Sudduth’s first three 

years leading the offense before 

NCAA bat changes, the Eagles 

scored almost eight runs per 

game, averaged 84 home runs a 

year, and hit .365 as a team. MCC
