Thirteen of his student athletes went on to play at the collegiate level.

“I am extremely grateful to join the Franklin community. Coach Miller has created a well respected and sound program, and my goal is to continue his legacy. Our teams will focus on fundamentals and doing the small things that win ballgames. We will work hard and be the most prepared team on the diamond.”
