SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. — When Social Circle went on the road and defeated Lincoln County 11-0 on March 30, junior third baseman Mason Moore had a career moment. 

Moore drilled his first career home run as a Redskin. He finished the game going 2-for-4 at the plate and had two RBIs. 

For Moore, the moment was special because of the team he is on. 

“At Social Circle we pride ourselves on being a family,” Moore said. “We play and practice together day after day and I have such a close bond with my teammates and coaches that help us be successful through the season.” 

March 30’s win improved the Redskins to 14-5 with an unblemished 7-0 record in Region 8A-Public. According to Moore, the team aimed for a set of aspirations that each player wanted to achieve. 

And Moore said each aspiration is still within the team’s grasp. 

“The season so far has been successful, we are currently undefeated in region play and plan to stay that way the rest of the year,” Moore said. “The main goal was a 20 or more regular season wins and we are currently on our way to that sitting at 14-5 with 11 games left.” 

In addition to his role on the baseball team, Moore is also a football player for the Redskins. He serves as one of the team’s two starting safeties. Moore’s favorite subject at Social Circle is U.S. history because he has “always loved learning the history of the United States.” 

Throughout his three years at Social Circle, Moore recognized that he’s grown in various areas. However, the biggest change he has noticed has been in his physical growth. 

During his sophomore season, he stood at 6’2, 155 pounds. A year later, he is 6’3, 190 pounds. 

But none of his individual growth or accomplishments would matter to Moore if not for the support he receives from his team. 

Moore highlighted how having a strong team connection makes all the difference for him and the Redskins this season. 

“Our bond as a team at Social Circle is very close,” Moore said. “All nine starters have been playing together since at least sixth grade. The team hangs out almost every day after practice and after games we all go eat. So, we are with each other almost 24/7.”
