Baseball: Oregon State Snags Cottonwood's Beverly
Apparently, Cottonwood High products love playing for national champions.

Stanley Havili signed up with Southern Cal's football program a few years ago -- and is having quite an impact for the Trojans this year.

Now, a second Colt will play for two-time national college baseball champion Oregon State.

Cottonwood's Kyle Beverly, a senior who helped lead the Colts to the past two 4-A baseball championships, has verbally committed to the Beavers, he told The Recruiting Trail today.

"The way they run their program is phenomenal," he said.

Last year, Cottonwood's Tanner Robles and Jordan's Garrett Nash signed with Oregon State, so Beverly will have some company in Corvallis.

"It will be good to have people I already know up there," he said.

Beverly had a .390 batting average for Cottonwood last spring and hit 11 home runs.
