HOUSTON – Our Rhythm Energy Athlete of the Week is Memorial baseball’s Grant Sperandio who’s helped the mustangs to their best season in program history, playing in their first-ever state semifinal series Thursday.
The junior pitcher is already committed to Texas and the future Longhorn helped the pitching staff stay relaxed by playing hacky-sack.
Grant has one final season next year before heading to Austin where he hopes to bring a National Championship to the Longhorns program.
