Lovelace back as Mocksville coach
Mike Lovelace is back as the Mocksville Senior Legion baseball coach. He went 178-152 from 1999-2009, ranking No. 1 in wins in the program’s 42-year history, and then left to coach the Winston-Salem team for five years. After being out of coaching for a few years, he’s going to replace Tristan Wyatt, who stepped down after going 18-29 over two years.
Lovelace is a 1991 West Forsyth graduate who starred on the mound for Mocksville from 1989-91 before pitching at UNC Charlotte.
Mocksville has struggled for a while, suffering five straight losing seasons and failing to record a winning record since 2012.
