Warrenton High School seniors Jacob Morrow and
Austin Little sign their letters of intent Monday to play
baseball for the Linn-Benton Community College in
Albany. The school held a signing ceremony in the
library with Coach Lennie Wolfe. “This is a tremen-
dous accomplishment for two outstanding Warriors,”
Athletic Director Ian O’Brien said. “These young men
do things right both in and out of the classroom.”
Morrow and Little both play three sports for the high
school. Morrow was All-League Player of the Year for
baseball last year, when he was a junior and captain
of the team. Little also was named to first team for
the league.
