Anchors Add Another From Angelo State

“I think playing in the Northwoods League will be a great experience. It is one of the premiere leagues and has more talent than you can ask for,” says Brown. “I’m excited to meet new people, teammates, and coaches while being blessed with the opportunity to play for the Blue Anchors.”
In high school Graylon was a three sport star, he played basketball, football, and baseball. For his efforts on the field he was an all-state selection in both football and baseball.
