Unless I'm mistaken he is the former Head Coach. He was the coach when they won the title in 97 and when they were runner up in 1994.

He was the head coach who won the most games for Manchester. I know what you are referring to. As I said, it is still Memorial Stadium. the sign says Greg Ohglesby field at Memorial Stadium if I am not mistaken.

Interesting to see photos of most, seating capacity… Seating capacity figures for the 3 Laurens Co.stadiums is seriously screwed up.The name origins are obvious although Raider Field is more commonly referred to as the Shu after the horse that used to be the mascot

and how did it get the name??..........................let's hear it............. The McIntosh County Academy Buccaneers play at a stadium simply known as "The Ship." About 20 years ago, when I was in high school, I started casually calling our old field "The Ship" (the old field is now "The Dinghy"- although that hasn't caught on). "The Ship" eventually became the unofficial but commonly used name of the field over the years after I graduated. I came back to teach three years ago, and Coach Warren, who was my US History teacher in 2000, told our current principal that I was responsible for naming it. Now, even The Brunswick and Savannah News call it "The Ship." I had no idea that my organic word-of-mouth campaign would become the default name of the new stadium. Reasons for the name are obvious, but not just limited to our mascot. The Buccaneer is an enduring symbol in McIntosh County because of the pirate history of our barrier islands. Heck, we even have one named "Blackbeard." Of course, our shrimping fleet was also a consideration with the name, as we become pretty attached to our vessels down here. RANT: We were once the only Buccaneers in the GHSA. Now those land-lubbers up in Allatoona think they can be "Bucs" because they live in relative wealth on a lake! Pshaw! We were once the busiest port in GA; I guess they might have a busy pontoon boat/party barge marina.... #onebuc
