Smith-Cotton High School senior Baxter Mays on Tuesday, Dec. 20, accepted a scholarship to play baseball at Allen Community College in Iola, Kansas.

Mays, an infielder and pitcher, is a three-time varsity letter winner. He has been named to both the All-West Central Conference baseball team and the All-District team, as well as earning Academic All-State recognition.

“Baxter has been one of the steady building blocks for this program over the last three years,” said S-C baseball Head Coach Kyle Zimmerman. “He has contributed to our success in many different ways. He has been an RBI guy when we need it, a pitcher who can stop the bleeding, and a spark plug that can get the offense going when we're having an off day. I have no doubt that he will continue to be successful at the next level as he already has the work ethic and the mindset to do so.”
