Hays signs to play baseball with Brookhaven College

Former Copperas Cove third baseman and pitcher Michael Hays joins a laundry list of baseball seniors to enter the college baseball ranks after signing a National Letter of Intent to attend Brookhaven College in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) on July 28.
 
“I couldn’t be any happier than I am right now,” said Hays. “For (Bears’ head coach Brandon) Rains to give me a chance is one dream come true. Obviously, I would like to go there for a year or two, improve my game and then, hopefully, move up to the (Division I) level. It’s a very big stepping stone in the direction I want to go.”
 
Hays hopes being a part of a program that has seen a top 10 ranking in four of the past five seasons and had 51 students athletes move on to four-year colleges – including 16 to Division I universities - will help those chances of reaching the next level.
