STaF Athletics was founded on the principles of Sacrifice, Teamwork, and Faith. These three words provide a clear purpose for an athlete to follow his/her path to great success in their athletic career. We strongly believe that an athlete's potential is based on his/her ability to succeed on and off the playing field while possessing the will to Sacrifice – more... the time and energy needed to improve as an individual, the ability to excel as a member of a Team, while having Faith in God, themselves and teammates.
Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed".
After helping the Georgia State baseball team to a four-game sweep of Jackson State on the season's opening weekend, junior shortstop Chase Childers was named Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Week as announced by the conference office today.
A native of Kennesaw, Ga., Childers hit .636 during State's four-game series against Jackson State last weekend. He collected seven hits with two doubles and the game-winning home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. The graduate of North Cobb Christian High School and STaF Athletics alumni also scored seven runs and stole two bases. Childers finished the weekend with a 1.091 slugging percentage and a .714 on-base percentage, helping the Panthers off to their best start in school history.
"Chase has been working hard this season, and he's swinging the bat very well," said head coach Greg Frady. "We have invested two years in him as our starting shortstop, and we are starting to reap the rewards and benefits of that. I am very happy for him and proud of his accomplishment."
Childers joins Justin Newman, who received the accolade on April 10, 2006, as only the second Panther to earn CAA Player of the Week honors since Georgia State started joined the CAA on July 1, 2005. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
