Sophomores Moving On

   The coaching staff and Tigers baseball program would like to announce our eight sophomores who have signed on to continue their careers at four year institutions. Coach Williams stated, "I'm lucky and fortunate to have coached and been around these individuals for the past two years and I know they will have great success in the future. These guys have a great opportunity ahead of them to get a great education with baseball being the catalyst to push them through tough and long days.
