There is always an end goal for young baseball players.
For some it may be as simple as making their varsity or high school team.
For others, their ambitions might be set on continuing the game they love at the collegiate level, or continuing their love for the game professionally.
The love of the game could be diminished by the overwhelming odds and work needed to achieve one’s goal, and the daunting task that comes with continuing athletics.
However, that dream still continues on in Justin Lawson, a pitcher who just graduated from Winnfield Senior High School in 2019 and after countless hours of preparation throughout the last two years, Lawson signed a letter of intent on Nov. 12, 2020 to continue his baseball career at North Carolina State University.
