:00 Hidden Valley's Mikey O'Brien has
decided to play his baseball next
season at Winthrop University in the
Big South.

O'Brien, who is a hard throwing
right handed pitcher, shortstop and
outfielder, had serious interest from
Virginia Tech, VMI and Liberty, but
decided today to pick the Eagles in
Rock Hill, South Carolina.

O'Brien had a break out sophomore
season, but played much of his junior
year with a strained bicep this past
spring.

He had a very productive summer
playing baseball in the Commonwealth
Games for the area's Senior American
Legion team that made it to the state
finals and for a showcase team in North
Carolina

O'Brien is in his senior season
at Hidden Valley.
