Midway High School product Caden Powell was born less than four months after Baylor hired Scott Drew. Now, he’ll be Drew’s first scholarship Wacoan.

“I used to play baseball [because] I love it,” Will said. “I still love it, but it’s almost to the point now where I don’t want to hang it up because so many people have invested so much time, energy and effort into getting me back on the field. I kind of feel like if I didn’t go out and keep playing, I’d let them down. That’s my big reason why I play, to make everybody’s time and effort worth it.”

The Bears worked out 19 athletes in their annual Pro Day on Monday at Midway’s Activity Center in Hewitt, with 17 of them coming from head coach Dave Aranda’s 2022 squad.
