Chuck DeVane hit .428 as a member of Coach Tom Moody’s Golden Stallions in 1981 and followed that up with a .409 average in 1982. Moody said DeVane was the only ABAC player who hit over .400 for two consecutive years during his 24 years as the diamond boss at ABAC. DeVane was named to the All-Region XVII team both seasons. After transferring to Valdosta State, DeVane continued his torrid pace at the plate when he compiled a .433 average with the Blazers, gaining him NCAA Division II All-America honors. He hit .338 as a senior centerfielder for Valdosta State in 1984.
