Patience is a virtue….For Karson Austin that motto pays big dividens for the junior MLB at Fort Gibson High School. Austin, states “I let the game come to me instead of trying to force it.” Austin also has the athletic skills to back it up, 405 squat, 475 deadlift, 295 bench. Very impressive strength for the 5-11, 205 team leader.

The 5-11, 2015 defender packs a nice punch on defense for the Tigers. Look for big things from Karson in what has all the makings of a very good senior season.
