Republic baseball senior Garrett Woods has signed a letter of intent to play college baseball at Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kansas. Woods will join the Blue Dragons next fall, after he wraps up his senior season at Republic.
Republic coach Howard Quigley says Woods’ work ethic is what helps him stand out.
“He’s what you like to see your athletes do their senior year. He’s worked hard, he’s taken a lot of self-initiative, and he’s self-motivated,” says Quigley. “That’s the reason he’s signing that paper today.
Woods says continuing his baseball career beyond high school was an important part of his college decision.
“I feel like it’s a great place to go. It’s got a long history of being a good program, and a good coach,” he says. “I like it out there, and I think it will be a good fit.”
