Generals Sign Two Freshmen

February 29, 2012 – The Victoria Generals of the Texas Collegiate League have announced the addition

of two new players to their 2012 roster. Infielder Carter Mangum from the University of Texas at San

Antonio and right-handed pitcher Keith Brenner from the University of Houston, both freshmen, will

take the field for the Generals this summer.

“We've been fortunate to have great players from both UTSA and Houston in the past,” commented

Victoria’s general manager, Blake Koch. “We're glad that those programs continue to send us players

every year.”

Carter Mangum, a 5’8”, 165 pound infielder, was an all-district performer at Langham Creek High School

in Houston. Mangum, a left-handed hitter, is expected to see time at second base this season at UTSA.

“Carter is a good defensive infielder that will most likely play second and third base for us this summer,”

said Koch. “He has good speed and handles the bat well.”

Keith Brenner, 6’3”, 225 pound right-handed pitcher from Longview, Texas, will compete for time out

of the bullpen this season for the Cougars. Brenner attended Pine Tree High School where he was

named to the Class 4A All-State Third-Team as a utility player his senior year by the Texas Sports Writers

Association.

“Keith is a big kid that can throw hard,” said Koch. “He should be able to come in this summer and gain

some valuable experience while helping us in the starting rotation or out of the bullpen.”
