Jimmy Cofer Night at SRP Park

Friday, April 9th, 2021

The City of North Augusta will host the North Augusta High School (home) vs. Midland Valley High School Varsity and JV baseball games at SRP Park on Monday, April 12. This game has been designated Jimmy Cofer Night at SRP Park as we honor Jimmy for over 55 years of service as an umpire and official.

“The City of North Augusta is so thankful that we can work together with the Augusta GreenJackets to give our young athletes at North Augusta High School the opportunity to showcase their talents at beautiful SRP Park,” stated North Augusta Parks, Recreation, & Tourism Director Rick Meyer. “In addition we wanted to use this opportunity to honor Jimmy Cofer for his contributions to our youth athletic programs, Jimmy has been a fixture on the diamonds of Riverview Park.”

We look forward to honoring Jimmy with a first pitch ceremony between the JV and Varsity Games. Jimmy has worked everything from recreation league games, Dixie Youth sub-district tournaments, Dixie Youth District tournaments, Dixie Youth State tournaments, Cal Ripken State tournaments, Cal Ripken Southeast Regionals, ASA District & State Softball tournaments, High School baseball games, College baseball games, and Semi-pro baseball games. If you have played or coached youth baseball in the CSRA over the last 55 years, there’s a pretty good chance that Jimmy Cofer has worked one of your games, and we invite you to come celebrate his career.

Gates to SRP Park will open at 4:30pm with the JV game scheduled for a 5:05pm first pitch. The Varsity game will start at approximately 7:05pm.
