well as back to back state championship game appearances in 2018 and 2019.

surrendering 1 run nine separate times including surrendering 2 runs total in the state championship series against a

nationally ranked Allatoona squad who had only lost 4 games the entire season entering the contests. The 2022 staff also

set records for saves in a season with Carson Kerce securing 9 of the 10 team saves enroute to a new single season saves

record and Dawson Campbell tied the single season record for wins in a season with 12 W’s.

capturing the 2019 state championship as well as leading the program to the state championship game in 2018 and 2020.

During the 2019 season, the team ended the season on a 23 game winning streak due in large part to Coach Liedberg’s

advance scouting. Coach Liedberg has also helped to secure 4 region championships for the Pope Fastpitch program and

Coach Liedberg has been named as a positive coach by Positive Athlete Georgia on 3 separate occasions.

After completing his playing career, Coach Liedberg worked multiple jobs in the baseball field working as operations
