New Hope High School's baseball team remains on a mission.
After losing in last season's Mississippi High School Activities Association's North State Class 5A championship series, the Trojans have found their way back for another chance. New Hope achieved that status with a 7-4 win over Ridgeland to close out a second-round playoff series before standing-room only crowd at Trojan Field Monday night.
"It is all about the (state championship) ring," New Hope junior pitcher Taylor Stafford said.
