year and was twice named All-State catcher by the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. While
playing in the Junior Pan Am games in 1991, Justin was named to the All-Tournament team.
After leading the nation with 25 home runs and 128 RBI at Connors State Junior College as
an All-Region catcher in 1996, he went on to Vanderbilt where he became an Academic All-
