From Tribune staff reportsTRUSSVILLE — When Jeff Mauldin took over the Hewitt-Trussville High School baseball program in 2013, he promptly took the Huskies to the state championship series in his first season. In Montgomery, they would face Pelham High School, the team Mauldin had left to move his wife, Chrissy, back home to Trussville. But on Tuesday night, the 2024 HTHS team took on Pelham in what would be a milestone win for their coach. The rabid pack of Huskies shutout the Panthers 11-0 and made Mauldin the youngest coach in Alabama history to win 700 games. Mauldin became just the sixth coach in Alabama high school history to reach 700 wins and he accomplished the milestone as the youngest coach ever to do so.
