Finding a dress that’ll fit Luke Bailey might be the hard part.

Bailey is a senior catcher for the Troup High Tigers, and he’s being projected as a first-round pick in the professional baseball draft.

He won’t be wearing his catcher’s gear Saturday night, though.

Bailey - along with some of his brave teammates - will wear a dress and take the stage at the Troup High auditorium.

The players are participating in the first “Ms. Tiger Baseball” show.

Here’s the gist of it.

Nearly all of Troup’s players (only a few of them opted out) will, according to the flyer promoting the program, “dance and dress like their favorite female performers.”

Britney Spears, anyone?

Showtime is 7 p.m., and tickets are $7 at the door. Reserved-seat tickets can be bought for $10 by calling (706) 298-4027 or (706) 523-0128.

Money raised from the event will go toward charities the baseball team works with.

“We’ve got just about everybody returning from our program last year doing this,” Troup head coach Craig Garner said. “There’s about three who opted out. I wasn’t going to make then do it.”

Here’s the bonus.

If enough tickets are sold, assistant coaches John Rhodarmer and Jamie Schmitt will do their own song-and-dance numbers.

Perhaps a sundress for coach Rhodarmer?

“He’s panicking the most,” Garner said.

HOOPING IT UP: The lo-cal chapter of the Knights of Columbus is offering a free-throw contest at Troup High on Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon.

There is no cost, and young hoopsters ages 8 to 13 are encouraged to come out and sign up.

Everyone who participates, event organizer Peter Anderson said, will get a certificate.

Anderson isn’t sure what kind of turnout to expect, but whether it’s one shooter or 100, he said the show will go on.

“We’re hoping for a big turnout,” he said.

CAVS PAY A VISIT: Some elementary students in Troup County got a first-hand invitation to tonight’s basketball games between Callaway and Valley.

On Thursday, the Callaway players and cheerleaders spent the morning traveling to the four elementary schools in the Callaway High district.

Each classroom at those schools got about five minutes with a few of the players and cheerleaders, and the students were given invitations to the games.

Elementary-school students will be admitted free with a paying adult.

SIGNING DAY: We’re less than a week away from what will be one of the biggest days in the lives of a handful of young men in Troup County.

On Wednesday, players across the country will sign their letters of intent to play college football.

The day has come to be known as “National Signing Day,” and for diehard college-football fans, it might as well be a national holiday.

A number of players from the local schools will participate in ceremonies at their schools.

Some of them like Troup’s Chris Burnette and Tay Irvin and LaGrange High’s Qua Huzzie and Tristian Johnson will be going to big-time Division I programs, while others are headed to programs with a smaller profile.

It will be a big deal to all of them, and congratulations in advance to every local player who will putting his signature on his letter.
