For more than a decade, President Adonis Hollingshed has guided the Bloomfield Youth Baseball squad from Macon, Georgia, turning a modest local program into a powerhouse for young athletes.
Under his stewardship the 12U and 14U teams captured state championships this season, earning automatic berths to the World Series in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they will compete next week.

Leland Shelley, a 12U standout, praised the team’s balanced attack, noting that a stifling defense paired with a potent offense has defined their success.
Hollingshed emphasizes loyalty and pride, values that have kept players and families invested in the program and helped hundreds of boys experience personal growth through the sport.
The upcoming World Series will bring together the nation’s top youth teams, and Bloomfield’s coaches say the experience will be a milestone for the community.
Beyond the diamond, the organization continues to foster development, offering mentorship and a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the game.
