*****On Marrero(Western Guilford HS) from the SoCon web site:
Marrero is ninth in the league with a .352 batting average this season. The rookie from Greensboro, N.C., started 54 of UNCG’s 55 contests at second base this season, putting together an impressive inaugural campaign that saw him compile 10 doubles and three homers among his 70 hits. He scored 36 runs, drove in 28 and drew 16 walks.*****

*****On Davis(Northeast Guilford HS) from the SoCon site:
Davis has seen action in all 50 of Appalachian State’s games with 49 starts in center field. The McLeansville, N.C., native is hitting .271 on the year with 12 doubles, four triples and four home runs, with his four triples good for third in the league. He has stolen 11 bases and has driven in 33 runs, scoring 28 of his own, while his 52 hits are third on the team. Davis is the Mountaineers’ first Freshman of the Year since Kenny Osborne took the award in 1993. He is the fourth Appalachian State player to earn the distinction.*****

  1. Congrats guys….It’s good to see our guys doing so well. Keep up the good work.

  2. NEG, WG and SEG fans ought to be going crazy over this news…

    You fans need to wake up and give a shout out to your players…This is a BIG honor for these three kids and they have done a lot to put their former high schools on the baseball map….

    Good job Jaylin, Nin and Blake and now we need to hear from the rest of you…..

  3. That’s what I am talking about right there. Need more of that. That’s bringing it.

  4. Sorry Andy been away for a few days. Your right, these kids all deserve a big S/O! I personally had the pleasure to work with all three, all great young men to go along with all that baseball talent! As for Blake and Jaylin, they have both been “SIXTH TOOL” program members at Carolina Acceleration during their high school playing days! As they say, WANT MORE…DO MORE. YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE! Congrats boys!!! HWPO
