Hooch's Wilkinson to Play Baseball at Reinhardt

Chattahoochee High School’s Austin Wilkinson has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball at Reinhardt University, Waleska, GA., which competes in the NAIA Division II Appalachian Athletic Conference.

Wilkinson, a three-year baseball letterman for the Cougars, was awarded Best All Around this season and selected for Second Team All-Region as a pitcher. A two-year letterman for Hooch football, he also was honored with the Premier Letterman Award for receiving four or more letters in multiple sports.

In addition to playing for his high school, Wilkinson will continue to play travel baseball this summer for Team DeMarini Georgia.
