BOYERTOWN, Pa. – Staff and students in the Boyertown Area School District received a big surprise this morning as one of their own prepares to make an historic debut.

Before BASD Class of 2021 alumni Trey Yesavage takes the mound tonight, he took some time to thank his former school district and hometown for their support.

The district posted Yesavage’s message to its Facebook page along with a message that read, in part:

“Trey, thank you for being a reminder to all of us that BIG dreams come true for those who work hard, follow their passion, and choose to become a shining example of our Portrait of A Graduate. We are incredibly proud of your #BASDBEARIMPACT Go Jays Go! #BASDTreyProud”
