Rust College Athletics Hosts First "Bo" Sellers Baseball Classic

Rust College Athletics Hosts First "Bo" Sellers Baseball Classic
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on February 14, 2023


Rust College Athletics is hosting its first ever Arthur “Bo” Sellers Baseball Classic, February 17-19, 2023 in Holly Springs, MS.

The "Bo" Sellers Baseball Classic honors Rust College alum, longtime employee and head coach (1986-1998) Arthur "Bo" Sellers who coached three players to Major League Baseball teams.

Harris Stowe University, Wilberforce University, Voorhees College, and Rust College will battle head-to-head during this three-day tournament.

“Bo Sellers is a local legend and pillar in the community,” said John Bates, head coach for Rust College’s baseball team. “He played at Rust in the early 80's and coached at Rust for almost 20 years. He has coached many young men in Holly Springs and surrounding areas.”

This is the first baseball tournament of this type held at Rust College since the start of the baseball program.



The event is open to the public and invited to join us at Rust College Bearcats’ Baseball Field where concessions will be served.

Coach Bates hopes to make this tournament the first of many.
