Four years of hitting in the cages, four years of freezing tryouts, four years with an L on their chests. For the 10 seniors on the varsity baseball team, time is running out in their playing career as a Leopard.
The team plays its final District 13-4A game on Friday at Wylie East. With a playoff spot already clinched, the team is guaranteed at least two more games. But when the season is over, college will be on the horizon.
With that being said, here is a list of where each senior player will be going and his likely major:
Tanner DeVinny: Kansas State University, Business
Tom Campbell: Texas A&M University, Sports Management
Logan Michaels: Seminole State (OK), Physical Therapy
Mason Chase: Texas A&M University, Mechanical Engineering
Taylor Neitsch: University of Oklahoma, Petroleum Engineering
Cameron Barajas: University of Arkansas, Business Finance with a minor in Business Marketing
Kyle McGuinness: (undecided), Psychology (most likely)
Austin Turnbow: (most likely) Abilene Christian University, Pre-Pharmacy
Dane Fuentes: University of Dallas, Business
Kyle Berger: Texas A&M, Environmental Design
While most of graduating Leopards will be pursuing a college education next year, only a few will continue their baseball career; DeVinny at Kansas State, Michaels at Seminole St., and Fuentes at University of Dallas.
“I committed to K-State in October after officially visiting the campus,” DeVinny said. “It is the best place for me at the right time and it just feels like a good fit. I love Manhattan and I love the baseball program. I also got a 60% scholarship.”

Sad to see our leopards going to do bigger and better things. What a fiasco!
