Student athletes commit to college sports on Signing Day
Senior Lily Cooper blocks a hit from Villa May High School. On Nov. 15, she’s committing to Duke University for volleyball.
Signing Day, scheduled for Nov. 15 at 2:10 p.m., is an event for seniors who are committing themselves to collegiate sports. They sign the National Letter of Intent each season, and this November is the Fall Early signing period. There are two other signings throughout the year. The event takes place in the commons.
Activities Director Todd Zell has a part in the signing.
“The colleges set a date years ago so that they knew when they could sign the agreement between the Institution and the student,” Zell said. “This time around there are 13 students participating.”
