Georgia sports for Thursday, February 14th

A sure sign of spring right around the corner is the reporting of baseball players for spring training. Atlanta Braves' pitchers and catchers are arriving in Orlando at their preseason training complex on the grounds of Disney. The first workout comes tomorrow, with position players officially reporting next week. One of the new faces showing up today is actually a familiar one to Braves-fans: Tom Glavine has returned to his original team, after five years with the New York Mets.

Men's college basketball Wednesday night had a win for Georgia, and loss for Georgia State. Georgia's Bulldogs scored a win at home in Athens to snap a 5-game skid, the final of 82-64 over South Carolina. The Panthers of Georgia State continue their tough season with a 51-48 loss to Delaware in Atlanta.

From pro basketball, the Atlanta Hawks dropped their 4th-straight game, 100-98 at Charlotte in overtime.

It was a win for the Atlanta Thrashers in pro hockey action, 3-2 in the shootout to top Washington.
