Whit Merrifield came by his talents honestly. He has his dad's genes.
The Davie County senior infielder has signed to play baseball for the University of South Carolina next year.
His dad is Bill Merrifield, who led the Gryphons to the NCHSAA 4-A state baseball title in 1980. The elder Merrifield had a fabulous college career at Wake Forest - including winning two ACC Baseball Player of the Year awards. He set many ACC records during his days in Winston-Salem. He is also a member of the Wake Forest Athletic Hall of Fame.
