The Mud Dogs defeated the 2001 Mississippi state champion Gulf Coast Hurricanes in the tourney final at Gulfport. They also recorded victories over the Louisiana Heat, the Southeast Mississippi Mariners, the Coast Cubs and the Jones County (Miss.) Bulls. In the early March tournaments the Mud Dogs got wins over many teams including East Cobb's number one team, the Astros, the North Alabama Vipers, the McDonough red Birds and the Georgia Roadrunners. The team is now preparing for the regular season in Fayetteville.
