Longwood University Athletics

Coach Bolding: “David should be poised to help carry a potent Longwood offense.  He will play left field and likely work in the five and eight holes in his senior year.  Additionally, David will serve as the outfield captain.  If David can drive in a few more runs this year, he can add substantial punch to the Lancer lineup.”
