Waycross tried to do a repeat performance in 1952 and won 80 games (.576) tying them for first place with Valdosta. A one game playoff for 1st saw Valdosta come out the victor. . The team drew well at the gate as well drawing 53,000... almost the same as the season before. Waycross would still make the playoffs and have to take on the Albany Cardinals yet again in the first round, who they had swept in the post season in 1951. Albany was looking for revenge and they got it, beating Waycross 4 to 2.
