Aiken Post 26 Stars Defy Senior Status in Legion Bats
Russell Lee and John Harrison, both juniors in high school, loom as top Post 26 players for North Augusta. Despite their size and strong .300 plus hitting, the pair are not seniors and will have two years of eligibility left in high school and Legion ball. They starred for North Augusta High School, guiding the team to a runner-up finish behind Aiken, while contributing in football and basketball. They credit family support and the American Legion program for shaping their careers and hope to pursue baseball beyond high school if opportunities arise.
