November 1, 2016 - Joaquin Rams Varsity Baseball, pitcher and middle-infielder, Brock Lawson has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball at Panola Junior College, of Carthage, next season. Lawson still has this season to prepare while playing varsity high school baseball at Joaquin under the guidance of his older brother, Rams Head Coach Wade Lawson, and his father, Assistant Coach Mike Lawson. Rams baseball has been a tradition with the Lawsons as Brock’s brothers, Matt, Lance, and Wade, played varsity baseball and other sports as well.
Brock was the Rams’ pitching ace last year and played middle infield when not on the mound. He has played with the Rams varsity program throughout his varsity career.
Lawson’s athletic teammates made an appearance at the signing to support their teammate.
Panola Ponies Head Baseball Coach Todd Shelton personally came to the presentation for the signing of the intention document.
The Ponies have several area players already including Centers’ Taylor Tomlin, Carthages’ Blaine Tomlin, Jared Blissett and Cole Clinton, and Beckvilles’ John M. Bounds.
Wade Lawson stated during the ceremony: “This won’t be the last time we gather for a signing. This is what we work hard for here.”
