Former Bear assistant, Mitch Thompson and his McLennan Highlanders play for their first national championship since 1983
Better known by Baylor fans as Steve Smith's long time assistant, Mitch Thompson along with another former Bear assistant, Chris Berry, will lead the McLennan CC Highlanders tonight in the JUCO World Series Final against Northwest Florida State, who they beat earlier in the tournament. While it is always good to see Bears succeeding wherever they may be, not to mention Bears tend to have a bit of a soft spot for MCC because of its proximity to and close academic relationship with Baylor, this is even more of a story because of the vacancy in Baylor Baseball's program.
