A member of our Southeast Senior Games team last summer; Walker is one of the leaders on a Grand Lake HS team that made it all the way to the Class 1A State Finals last spring.  The John Melvin recruit had a big showing last week for the Hornets, both on the mound and at the plate.  Offensively, he collected 3 hits in 9 at-bats (.333 AVG) with a 2B, while driving in 1 run and scoring 5 times.  On Thursday, Walker toed the rubber against district foe Lake Arthur and turned in a brilliant and rare outing, as he tossed a perfect game with 8 strikeouts to lead Grand Lake to the 1-0 victory.
