Baseball Coach Andy Compton of Chipley, Florida High School was recently inducted into the Dixie Boys Baseball Hall of Fame.
Compton, along with Chipley High School, has hosted two Dixie Pre-Majors World Series Tournaments in Chipley, has hosted many state championships, and has worked as Assistant Coach and Head Coach of Dixie National Baseball Teams.
Compton, as a high school and summer baseball coach, has maintained a lifelong commitment of service to young adults through the game of baseball, and has impacted many lives.
J. Sandy Jones, Commissioner of Dixie Boys Baseball in Dothan, Alabama, made the presentation, saying, ‘It is a privilege to recognize you as a member of our Dixie Boys Baseball Hall of Fame’..
‘We have always known, understood and appreciated the effort that Andy has expended in his work with boys baseball’, said Martha Compton, Andy’s wife and biggest fan, ‘and this award is the culmination of all that dedication, and we are proud of him beyond words’.
Coach Compton, who is still teaching and coaching at Chipley High School, intends to continue doing just that until he retires, and the community is better for his efforts. Good luck and God Bless, Andy!
