New Abingdon-Avon Tornado Baseball Coach Ready to get Season Started

Story by Prairie Communications intern Kadin Rogers

The Abingdon-Avon high school baseball team is going into the season with a new Head Coach. Gary Cameron has worked in the Abingdon-Avon school district for 5 years, and during his time has been the high school golf coach and junior high basketball coach and has spent the past few seasons as an assistant on the varsity baseball staff. Cameron will now get his first crack at head coaching baseball for A-Town. Speaking on the WRAM morning show this morning, Cameron says he wants his Tornadoes teams to play an aggressive brand of baseball.
