Seniors commit on signing day

in Sports by

The yearly National Signing Day took place 9 a.m, Feb. 1 at the Heritage gymnasium. This day is when seniors who committed to play at a college sign their National Level of Intent. This year, Heritage had 30 athletes playing nine different sports commit further their athletic and academic careers at the collegiate level.

Athletic director Bruce Avens wished the best of luck to these athletes.”Right now, you’re the big fish, but you’re going to be the small fish. You have to be humble, but know you’re a great athlete and you come from a great school,” Avens said. He also added that school comes first. “Get an education first because school won’t last forever.”
