Williams hired as Generals new coach

The Waynesboro Generals are pleased to announce the hiring of former Generals’ assistant coach and current Valdosta State baseball assistant coach, Matt Williams, as the clubs new head coach for the 2016 season.

Williams takes over the head coaching duties following a successful campaign in 2014 & 2015 by D.J. King. Just as in Williams’ previous seasons with the Generals, he will handle the hitters, defense, and man the third-base box.

Williams played collegiately at Texas College in Tyler, Texas and Valdosta State University.

Williams’ day-to-day duties as a member of Greg Guilliams’ staff at the NCAA Division II member, Valdosta State University, include working with hitters, infielders and baserunning.
