Mercer University softball head coach Mike Raynor announced the signing of six outstanding student athletes to National Letters of Intent recently. The group is comprised of versatile talent that can play numerous positions and should add in significant ways to the program.
The Mercer Bear Class of 2014 will plan to make their debut in the Atlantic Sun in the spring of 2011.
McKenzie Woody (Whitewater High School, Fayetteville, GA), Randi Rea (Collins Hill High School, Suwannee, GA), Krista Kennedy (Kennesaw Mountain High School, Marietta, GA), Caitlin Peisel (Perimeter College, Covington, GA), Tiffany Phillips (Perimeter College, Covington, GA), and Katherine Bailey, Middle Georgia College, Cochran, GA) will infuse coach Raynor's squad with talent and depth and could all challenge for starting positions in the 2011 season, according to the fourth-year coach.
"This class really has the potential to contribute to all aspects of the program - offensively, defensively, pitching, infield, outfield, and that all so important team chemistry that we know means so much" Raynor said. "We are replacing a good class with a very strong class of potential, competitiveness, athleticism, versatility, personality, and smarts."
