UPike Signee Colin Howard
“… Like a family atmosphere and Beautiful campus along with a strong baseball program. I also have family ties to UPike, my uncle graduated from UPIKE medical school.”
“ … Coach Feltner runs his program to make anyone ready for the next level. Him and the staff push us to be our best everyone. From 6am works to after-school practice. My only regret is I wasn’t able to be coached by them for all four years.”
“… Alice Lloyd and Berea were on my list. I’m going to major in health and human performance and after I finished my bachelors degree I’m going to apply to physical therapy school.”

COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We only had Colin for two years but what a two years it was. He was a class act off the field and on the field and brought a ton to our program. I sure wish I would have been here from the get go. Outstanding young man and a very good baseball player.”
“… Played multiple positions for us defensively and usually hit right in the middle of our lineup as well. He will do great things at UPike and throughout his life. Can’t wait to keep track of him.”
