Southern Athletics Baseball Academy continues to cultivate talent in Texarkana, with the academy maintaining a record of college commitments and producing MLB draftees, including Hunter Hollan, drafted by the Reds and Brewers, and commits like Rian Cellers to Texas Tech and others to Arkansas, Kansas and Southern Illinois ([perfectgame.org](https://www.perfectgame.org/PGBA/Team/default.aspx?orgid=21496&utm_source=openai)).
