Coach Mitchell said, "This is a great opportunity
for this young man to continue his education and play baseball. He is a good student and the opportunity to play baseball is an extra bonus
to start his chosen career." Justin said, "I am excited about an early signing date. Now, I
can prepare for the up coming season and try to catch and pass my brother's high school record of 32 wins. I
chose Northeast Community College because it is close to home, and I believe that I can get a good education there."
