Senior Salute: “Best moment has been being around my brothers on the team and knowing that we are here for each other, no matter what. Also being a part of three district championship moments.”

Looking ahead: “I am going to Glenville State College in Glenville, WV to play baseball. I plan on majoring in physical education, with a minor in business. I want to teach and go into coaching. I’ve seen the great times my dad (Columbia coach Brian Thomas) has had, and want to continue on that path.”

Senior Salute is an ongoing series from the LCR to honor the seniors who lost their spring seasons due to covid-19. If your coach hasn’t reached out to you, you can also reach out to us.
