Chuck's dad wrote a letter to the editor on about the "teams to watch" article. Here is the letter that was published in the editorial page on Wednesday:
Baseball 'watch' lists lacking
The March 27 article by Sean Coughlin, about high school baseball "teams to watch" and "players to watch" was sorely lacking on information.
The top team should be Calvary, which did make the reporter's list, having won two state championships in the last three years. The next team should be Benedictine, which is not on the list on "teams to watch."
Benedictine was one of only three teams to defeat Calvary last season. Benedictine, with seven juniors on the starting team, shut out Calvary. So far this season, Benedictine has defeated all opponents from Savannah, including: Savannah Christian, Jenkins, Groves, Windsor Forrest and Effingham County. Benedictine has made the state playoffs the last three seasons and has not been defeated this year by any team in Savannah. How can they not be a "team to watch"?
Now, the best "player to watch" is John Roberts from South Effingham. He has10 or 12 home runs this season. The Savannah Morning News got this one right by putting him on the list. The next best player is probably Chris Kicklighter from Benedictine, who didn't make the "players to watch" list. Chris has at least seven home runs this season. Any coach in Savannah would list Chris as one of the top players. Also, knowing Benedictine has defeated all other schools in Savannah except Calvary (game set for 4:30 p.m., April 21 at Benedictine), I think there would have to be some other Benedictine players as "player to watch." I will say one thing, Benedictine is not a one- or two-man team, for each game produces another player to propel this team to victory.
If Sean Coughlin wants to see two of the best baseball teams in Savannah and some of the best players, he should plan on covering the Benedictine vs. Calvary baseball game on April 21.

I am betting that was the Chuck Moore who plays not his father. Just a guess though.
too bad we dont have a team anymore.. for those who havent heard kicklighter and swinson were kicked off for being drunk at the prom.. then vonwaldner and shellhammer quit, possibly with others to come. bc continues to only punish athletes year after year for alcohol related problems. i hope no writer goes out to calvary because that could be a blowout to a terrible calvary team. goodbye 4 state appearances in a row
