Fuquay Varina Independent

The Bengals Baseball Club is hosting the Fuquay-Varina Baseball Winterfest on Saturday, January 7th, at Bentwinds Golf and Country Club. The banquet will honor accomplishments of Fuquay-Varina baseball players ? past and present ? and will serve as the induction ceremony for the Fuquay-Varina Baseball Hall of Fame. In addition, the high school team of 2002 will be recognized on the tenth anniversary of their state championship season.

The inductees for the Hall of Fame?s third class are: Dusty Cook, a long time resident of Fuquay-Varina who played in the major leagues from 1930 to 1938; and three members of the FVHS class of 2003: Harris Honeycutt who played at University of South Carolina and Caleb Mangum and Adam McLaurin who both played at NC State University.

In addition to the Hall of Fame enshrinement, the Bengals Baseball Club will honor Cameron Conner (FVHS Class of 2008) as the Alumnus of the Year for his performance at NC State. The club also will honor umpire Aaron Jordan of the FVAA as the Alumnus of the Year for Community Service.

Billy Best of the Atlanta Braves organization is scheduled to be the featured speaker. Mayor John Byrne will give the introductory remarks.

The public and all FVHS baseball alumni are invited to attend the festivities. The banquet starts at 7 p.m., preceded by a social gathering at 6 p.m. Tickets are available for $50 each and can be purchased by contacting Tom Hayes at the Hit and Run training facility (919-552-5445) or via e-mail at thayes@hitandrunfv.com.
