I AM EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THE JZ GEORGE BASEBALL PROGRAM. IT IS A NEW DAY FOR JAGUAR BASEBALL. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE PLAYERS. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE PLAYERS THAT ARE READY TO HAVE SOMONE COME IN AND PUSH THEM TO IMPROVE. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING AND COACHING FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS. I HAVE COACHED JUNIOR HIGH, HIGH SCHOOL, AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL OVER MY CAREER, AND I HAVE COACHED JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE EARLY IN MY CAREER TO COACH BASEBALL AT RICHLAND HIGH SCHOOL UNDER A GREAT BASEBALL COACH. I STILL CONSIDER HIM MY MENTOR, AND HE GUIDED ME TO UNDERSTAND HOW A PROGRAM SHOULD BE RUN. THE PAST IS THE PAST (GOOD OR BAD), BUT WE ARE AT GROUND ZERO (THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW).  I AM MARRIED TO CHRISTINA JACKSON. IN MY PHONE SHE IS MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, AND MY COFFEE CUP PROCLAIMS THAT SHE IS HOTTER THAN MY COFFEE. I LOVE HER DEARLY, AND TRULY MARRIED OUTSIDE OF MY LEAGUE. CHRISTINA IS A GEOMETRY TEACHER AND PACER SPONSOR AT JACKSON PREPARATORY SCHOOL. I HAVE TWO SONS. MY OLDEST IS A BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SCIENCE MAJOR AT MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY, AND MY YOUNGEST WILL BE A NINTH GRADER AT JACKSON PREPARATORY SCHOOL IN FLOWOOD, MS. I AM VERY PROUD OF BOTH OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS ACADEMICALLY. 

COACH ALFORD IS THE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AT JZ GEORGE, AND HE HAS GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO STEP IN AS THE ASSISTANT BASEBALL COACH IN THE ABSENCE OF AN ASSISTANT. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL FOR HIS DEVOTION TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE SCHOOL IN SPITE OF HIS BUSY SCHEDULE. HE HAS ALSO PREVIOUSLY COACHED BASEBALL AND BRINGS A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE TO THE PROGRAM.
