Nick Hatchell Jr. | Class of 2027 | Brookstone

Recent transfer from Columbus High making an impact. Nick came up HUGH with Brookstone down one late against Lakeside and delivered in a big moment. He drove a rocket to deep center that just got over the outstretched glove of the center fielder for a clutch game tying double.

Brookstone would take the lead in the 7th and hold on for the 4 to 3 win. Great patience at the plate, confidence in the moment, and a strong eye that led to a huge hit when it mattered most.

Looking forward to seeing what Nick brings to Brookstone as the season continues.

Brookstone standout SS and RHP Brennan Neal put together another impactful performance.

Neal got the start on the mound against Lakeside (AL) and was dominant through three innings, recording six strikeouts while allowing just three hits. After his outing, he moved back to his usual position at shortstop in the fourth inning.

At the plate he went 1 for 2 with a triple and a walk, crossing the plate twice to help lead secure the W.

Already committed to his parents’ alma mater Auburn, the junior continues to show why he’s one of the most exciting young players to watch.

Bright future ahead for this young man.

The Brookstone SS and RHP finished the game with 3 at bats, 2 hits, 1 walk, a triple, and an RBI against Central. He also showed elite speed beating out an infield ground ball and turning on the jets for a triple over the RF head.

Already committed to Auburn as a junior, Neal continues to prove why he is one of the top prospects in Georgia and a moving up the ranks nationally. With only a few games into the season, he is already setting the tone.

I had the pleasure and honor of putting this hype and highlight reel together for Brookstone Football as they won the semifinals in the GIAA 4A playoffs. They shut out FPD 13 to 0 and now they are headed to Macon for the state championship against Stratford. The game will be this Saturday at Mercer University at 6 pm. Wishing you young men victory and hoping you bring that 4A state title back to Columbus and back to Brookstone. Keep pushing and finish the mission.
