Chip Wade was named by league officials as the newest head coach in the BNA Bank Cotton States League.  Coach Wade is an associate scout in the New York Mets organization as well as an assistant professor at Miss. State University.

Blue Mountain College will sponsor the expansion Tippah Country Tribe in the 2010 BNA Bank Cotton States Baseball League. 

Blue Mountain College was the sponsor of the Tallahatchie Rascals in 2009, but the Tippah County NAIA school accepted an offer from the CSBL to move their sponsorship to the expansion Tribe this season.  BMC President Dr. Bettye Coward informed the league of the school's decision in an email received this past week.
