Montgomery Catholic’s O’Connor Signs with The University of Mobile

Montgomery Catholic's O'Connor Signs with The University of Mobile 1


Montgomery Catholic Preparatory held a signing ceremony for senior softball pitcher, Sydney O’Connor on Thursday, September 26 at 2:45 in the Dolly Barranco Center at Montgomery Catholic’s Middle & High School campus. O’Connor signed her letter of intent to play softball with the University of Mobile for the next four years. Her parents, MCPS Varsity Softball Coach Britt Taylor, former softball coaches; Bill Barranco and Marty Britt, along with fellow MCPS students and school administration were all in attendance for the ceremony.

O’Connor, a four year MCPS Varsity player, was instrumental in getting the Knights to the state tournament this season on the mound, and will look to take that success to Mobile, who finished second at the 2008 NAIA National Tournament and had appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sydney thanked her family and all of her past coaches for their support, and God for surrounding her with amazing people during her speech.
Sydney is the daughter of Katie and Mike O’Connor of Montgomery, Ala. Montgomery Catholic is proud to have Sydney as part of the MCPS family, and we look forward to seeing her accomplishments at the University of Mobile.
