Former Cienega standout Nick Gonzales earned another accolade after D1Baseball named the New Mexico State second baseman to their Preseason All-American list.
This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
Portions from news release.
We’ve recognized 7 athletes so far this year. We recognized 195 athletes in 2019.
