"Randon had a tremendous senior season at Kenton Ridge,” said MVNU coach Keith Veale, who has posted a 676-331 record in 20 seasons at the helm of the Cougars. "His junior season Kenton Ridge played in the state semifinals and he was an integral part of that team as well. He has some pop in his bat and is very capable around first base defensively. We like his approach to the game. He is a hard worker with a teachable attitude.”

In addition to playing baseball for Kenton Ridge and for the Springfield Bulldogs, McNeil was a two-time CBC First Team honoree in golf and also the 2009 Sportsman of the year in basketball. He helped the golf, basketball, and baseball teams each to a conference title during his senior year. He was a member of both National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society as well as being involved in choir, show choir, Leo Club, and serving as a speaker for Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said McNeil of his college choice. "I wanted the opportunity to play baseball and MVNU has a very successful baseball program. I also wanted to attend a smaller school with a Christian atmosphere.”

MVNU is an NAIA school that competes in the American Mideast Conference. The Cougars posted a 35-21 overall record in 2009 and advanced to the semifinals of the National Christian College Athletic Association National Tournament. The team also qualified for the NAIA playoffs for the 19th time in the past 20 seasons. Over the years, MVNU has had 13 players drafted by Major League teams including Tim Belcher, who was the top pick overall in the 1983 draft. Seven other former players have signed free agent contracts to play professional baseball.
