This month’s Athlete of the Month is senior Will Warren.  Warren has been a member of the high school baseball since freshman year and he has continued to help the team until his very last game representing the Herd.  Warren was the starting pitcher against Cumberland Valley in their only win of the season on their senior night.  The Herd battled hard to have one last win before they lost their seniors on the team.  After his successful game, we had the chance to catch up with Warren.
