  • Neel leaving champion War Eagles for Panthers

        Eric Neel spent three seasons coach at East Central. The Hornets played in three state championship games.
        Neel then coached the past three years at Wayne County, leading the War Eagles to three straight Class 5A fast-pitch state crowns.
        And now, he doesn’t see why the same can’t occur at Quitman. After guiding Wayne County to its third straight championship Saturday, Neel resigned his position in Waynesboro on Thursday to replace Kacie Roberson at Quitman.
