In the 1990s, they moved to the Queensburg Community, where they remain. The Black Cats have achieved widespread popularity and a dedicated fan base. Their rivalry with the Hattiesburg Black Sox is arguably the fiercest and most historic in the state of Mississippi semi-pro baseball. After sending several players to college and other Negro league franchises, the team was disbanded in 2006 but later returned in 2010 when former Jones County Junior College assistant baseball coach Jody P. Babineaux took ownership and management of the club. In 2016 the team won a state championship. (en)
