Baseball | 4/14/2025 9:45:00 AM

Tradition runs deep for Clinton High School Athletics, and it was fully displayed on Saturday afternoon at Arrow Field.

Prior to the Arrows' game against the St. Andrew's Saints, the 1985 Clinton Arrow Baseball team was recognized on their Class 5A South State Championship season's 40-year Anniversary. The 1985 team finished the season with a 20-6 overall record, capturing the District 6-5A North Sub-District title and Class 5A South State Title during their historic campaign.

Legendary head baseball coach Doug Hutton led the Arrows through the season. Hutton, who had an illustrious 32-year coaching career, spent 16 of those years at Clinton High School where he tallied 328 wins and 85 losses. Hutton led the Arrows to a state title in 1990 and two state runner-up seasons in 1991 and 1993. In addition to those accomplishments, Hutton and the Arrows grabbed several south state and north state titles under his tutelage. Hutton was elected and enshrined in the Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame in 2015.

During the 1985 season, Hutton was assisted by Kenny Hudson.

The 1985 team's roster included seniors Hut Hutton, Barry Collier, Bobby Browning, Allen Chisolm, Ritchie Morton, Hobson Hanley, and Doug Dale. Wes Collier, Scott Williams, John Miller, Jeff Long, Kyle Morris, Ben Harrell, Kevin Johnson, John Bernhart, Derek Holmes, Lee Harlow, Bubba Ramsey, Shane Ritter, Chad Upton, Scott Abraham, Steven Robertson, Bobby Waldrup, and Todd Chester. Lynn (Hutton) Lovertich and Carissa Morton were bat girls for the Arrows.

1985 SEASON RECAP

The Arrows finished the regular season with a 15-3 overall record and a 6-2 record in district play, advancing to the District 6-5A Championship series against Wingfield High School. The Arrows won the best-of-three series in three games. The Arrows defeated the Falcons in the decisive game three, 10-5, at Smith-Wills Stadium in Jackson.

Advancing to the Class 5A South State Tournament, Clinton beat Gulfport High School twice and South Natchez High School at Smokie Herrington Park in Hattiesburg. The undefeated run helped the Arrows capture the south state title.

However, the historic run ended with two straight losses in the Class 5A State Tournament at Mississippi College.
