Senior signs with university to play baseball

Hitting it off with Recruiter Micah Graves has given Senior Bryar Barnes the opportunity to sign with Murray State University in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

The signing took place in the media center May 1 with Barnes’s parents, coaches, friends and teammates in attendance.

Barnes joined the varsity team his freshman year of high school and has been a starter on the team all four years playing right-hand pitcher, third base and catcher.

“He’s grown a lot as a person and as a player,” Coach Heath Andrews said, “and it has been great seeing him grow up through the years.”

Ironically, Coach Andrews also coached Graves at Naaman Forest High School.

“He caught two line drills at third base against Rowlett High School for the district championship in 2006 that otherwise would have cost us the championship,” Andrews said. “We call him the ‘Eagle Killer.'”

The varsity team recently made playoffs after a 13-0 district season and will play Mt. Pleasant in their first playoff game May 3.

Hey all, I’m Lauren. Or, if you’re like my mom and have been introduced to my ‘genius brain’, Tony Stark because, “I can build the clock but I can’t tell time”. Sometimes I counter the stereotype of the ‘dumb blonde’, but most of the time I am the epitome of it. Please take it from the girl who stuck her finger in a lamp to see if it was working or if the light bulb had just burned out; just because you have decent grades doesn’t mean you’re smart. (By the way, don’t do that.) I have and older brother who consistently spells my “L”, “Elle” and who coined giving me my “L” (a.k.a. “the loser sign”) whenever I do something stupid. J (Which is unfortunately often.) I’ve also got a fishy younger sister, and a one-year-old sister-in-law  J , just kidding, she’s actually 25 but to me she is one. Muhahaha. I love writing (especially my book), not so much journalistically (sorry Mrs. Thedford). I also love reading, playing games, bugging my family, archery, and attempting the craziest strategy games out there (pretty much anything that is hard, I’m in). My dream life would be having my own place and a job where I get paid to daydream. I adore sunsets, sunrises and all of God’s beautiful paintings, which I can only attempt to describe and which prompted my writing.
