KWXI Sports for Monday August 2nd, 2010

Centerpoint graduate Russell Watts who originally signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Northeast Texas junior college in Mt. Pleasant, TX said he’s decided to play baseball at the University of Central Arkansas instead where he’ll play for first year head coach Allen Gum who will take over the UCA head baseball coaching job from Doug Clark who quit the UCA head coaching job after 8 seasons. Gum is going to UCA after 5 successful seasons as the head coach of Southern Arkansas. In an exclusive interview with KWXI sports, Russell Watts said what he reason was for choosing UCA over Northeast Texas.

“UCA is a division one school and it gives me a four year plan for my education, Watts said. “If everything works out, I can leave in 3 years for the draft but if not, I still have the 4 year education and everything will be paid for.”
