Nine seniors commit to play college sports

Every year the athletic department coordinates a day for senior athletes to officially “sign” to their selected college. One of the days is for the early and already verbally committed athletes in the fall, and the other is for the later committed athletes in the spring.

Normally located in the lecture hall, this year’s fall signing was moved to the auditorium. This move was because nine athletes were signing, a larger number than ever before, and there was not enough room in the lecture hall.  Each athlete’s coach talked about them and then the signees ceremoniously signed their names, publicly committing to their college.

The following are the athletes who signed, the sport they play, and where they signed to:

Volleyball:
Shannon Connell: Stephen F. Austin State University
Bailey Martin: Northwestern University
Ebony Nwanebu: University of South California

Softball:
Sammi Curry: University of Texas at Tyler
Amanda Gray: Louisiana Tech University
Brittany Lewis: Stephen F. Austin State University

Baseball:
Tanner DeVinny: Kansas State University
Dane Fuentes: University of Dallas

Basketball:
Jake Flaggert: University of Texas at El Paso

Katie Curry, Staff Reporter
Mike and Ikes, puppies, jeeps, One Tree Hill, and ice cream...lots and lots of ice cream; it’s Katie. Her life pretty much consists of these things with the addition of a few others, and that’s how most people know her. Alongside these 5 fantastic things, she is also recognized by her long brown curly hair and the unfortunate height of a 5th grader. Her love of her hometown, back-to-back NBA Champion basketball team, the Heat, gets her in trouble because of her surrounding Mav fans, yet she still wears that championship t-shirt to school every once in awhile. This will be her 6th year in Newspaper and she is SOOOO excited...there is a fully loaded snack cabinet with a bag full of Mike and Ikes in it after all. :)
