The words “signing day” is music to the ears of many athletes, a fact that one Fluvanna’s senior athletes can attest to.

Baseball player and FCHS senior Shaun Holyfield signed with George Washington University on Nov. 8 at the high school.

Holyfield had been offered spots at other schools, but ultimately decided that George Washington University was “the best choice for him academically and athletically.”

Baseball was Holyfield’s first sport, and he’s been in love with it since he was four years old. Alongside his time playing for Fluvanna, Holyfield has also played travel baseball for the Mid-Atlantic Orioles.
