LHP – Kyle Muzechka of Vegreville, Alberta has committed to play for the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs for the fall of 2008.  Muzechka will be attending either the University of Lethbridge of Lethbridge Community College and is undecided on his major currently.  Kyle will be playing for recently Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame inductee – Blair Kubicek and will be competing for a Canadian College Baseball Championship.  PBA has a tremendous track record of developing Canadian players for the rigors of college baseball and sending them on to very good 4 year schools in the United States.

Coach McTavish had this to say about Muzechka, “Kyle has did everything we ask in our athletes while attending our program.  He is a good student, quality citizen, and puts a tremendous amount of hard work into his development as an athlete.  Kyle is a great fit for PBA and I think he has a bright future.  He is a LHP that knows how to pitch and over time should develop into a very quality left handed arm for the Dawgs.”

The VAB would like to congratulate Kyle on his committment to PBA and we wish him all the success!

Following in former Jet Scott Hornstra’s footsteps – outfielder Mark Clauson has committed to play for the Colby Community College Trojans – Colby, Kansas – in the fall of 2008.  Clauson signed a letter of intent this past week and received an athletic scholarship to compete in the Jayhawk conference.

Coach McTavish had this to say about Clauson, “Mark has really made tremendous strides over the past 18 months.  Mark has not only became a much better player but, a better student and person.  Mark has developed into a leader with our club and worked his way into becoming one of our most consistent and productive hitters in our line-up.” 

The entire VAB would like to wish Mark all the success in the future!
