Clark to play for Southwest Virginia CC
Anderson County’s Morgan Clark is joined by family to celebrate the official signing of a letter of intent to continue his academic career and play baseball for Southwest Virgina Community College.
But before the 2024 campaign began, he finalized his college plans.
Clark, a first baseman and pitcher for the Mavericks, recently signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Southwest Virginia Community College in Cedar Bluff, Virginia.
He decided that he wanted to play for the team while sitting and watching a practice session.
“The thing that appealed to me was the coaches and the players and the way they handled themselves in practice,” Clark said. “I was able to watch a practice up there and I really liked the way that the coaches and players handled themselves.”
He said that he will study criminal justice and has aspirations to pursue a career in law enforcement.
“I want to be a cop,” Clark said.
He also said that he wanted to stay close by and noted that the small-town atmosphere was appealing.
“I’m about two-and-a-half hours away and I wanted to stay close to home,” Clark said. “You have a great view. You have the field and then you have our living area.
“There’s really not much there. It’s on a hill and you have all the buildings, but you have a good view.”
Clark also said that the small class size at the community college appealed to him.
“I like (the small class size) more,” he said.
