Durant, Okla. - Spencer Tidwell of Durant will continue his baseball playing days at Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College.
Tidwell, a Durant High School graduate, played shortstop for the Lions. He was also a member of the football squad at Durant.
He signed a letter of intent to play for the Saints at a ceremony in May at his high school.
Parents Tina Vaughn and Shelby Tidwell, as well as little brother Skyler Tidwell, joined coaches and teammates at the ceremony.
“It’s just a blessing,” Tidwell said. “This opportunity to go to the next level is something I’ve wanted since I was a little kid.”
Durant had three athletes sign collegiate letters of intent at the ceremony, including cheerleader Brooke Podany (OBU) and soccer player Breanna Cedillo (MSC).
