YOUNG HARRIS – Twin brothers Trevor and Tyler Spradlin signed to continue their academic and baseball careers at Young Harris College for the 2011-2012 season, announced head coach Rick Robinson this week. Both graduated in 2011 from Heard County High school in Franklin, Ga.

"I am excited to have these young men as part of our program," Robinson said. "They will have the opportunity to compete for a starting role right away. I am please to bring in young men that played for one of the hardest working players to ever play at Yong Harris College, Michael Hornsby. They should have a pretty good idea of what will be expected of them on and off the field."
