NWAC Sports / College Signings

A two-time top-three state placer in basketball, along with a hoopster who reached the 1,000-point club and a highly-ranked player by Baseball Northwest are among the latest student-athletes to ink letters of intent to play sports at Lower Columbia College.

R.A. Long guard Landon Irwin has agreed to play men's basketball with the Red Devils, and guard Lainey Dean of Toutle Lake will join the LCC women's basketball team.

The defending NWAC champion baseball team has added several new pieces for next year. Included in that crop is pitcher Arlo Copony from Portland's Cleveland High, and first baseman Spencer Gillespie of North Kitsap High in Poulsbo.

And the NWAC runner-up LCC softball team has added pitchers Lynzee Reid of Port Angeles, and Charlie Naylor from Pocatello, Idaho.
