Harrelson’s coaching dream leads him on ride to Omaha

Harrelson’s coaching dream leads him on ride to Omaha

Richy Harrelson was the first to put everyone’s thoughts into words.

Southern Miss turned a game-inning double play to secure a super regional sweep at Florida, and Harrelson “looked at our coaches and yelled, ‘We’re going to Omaha.’ It was great. I felt like I was 12 years old again.”
So it is that Harrelson, a former Iuka High School and Ole Miss baseball star, makes his first visit to college baseball’s biggest stage as a volunteer assistant coach at Southern Mississippi.
Calls have continued to flood Harrelson’s cell phone with well wishes and encouragement to go and “make Mississippi proud.”
