Barr-Reeve’s successful baseball program will be sending a pair of players to the next level. On Friday Viking seniors Levi Lester and Korben Boyd signed national letters of intent to continue their baseball careers next year at Oakland City University and Olney Central University.

“I’m just extremely proud of both of these guys. It’s not only they’re great ball players, but they’re great kids on top of that, kids that are easy to root for. They do things the right way. As a coach, you’re always asking kids to buy into your system and your vision for what you want your program to be, and both of these guys have done that, and they’ve had a tremendous amount of success on the field.
