LAURINBURG —The Highland Hooligans, a collegiate summer wood bat baseball team that will be coming to Laurinburg in the summer of 2025, has named the first general manager in the team’s history. Billy Norris Jr. received the honor and was announced to be the general manager on Tuesday afternoon.
The Highland Hooligans are set to open their inaugural season on Tuesday, June 3 at 7 p.m. against the Jacksonville Ospreys at Legion Park, which is located in the heart of Downtown Laurinburg. The Highland Hooligans will compete in the Coastal Division of the Old North State League in 2025.
