While not all local high schools have reported the college signings of their student-athletes, at least 37 graduating seniors (reported to us) will join dozens of sports stars from the area who are playing and studying at the college level. While others are taking their skills to the professional ranks.
Among those athletes who are taking their education and athletics to the next level are the 75 listed below. If you know of a student-athlete not listed, please send the graduate's name, high school, college now attending, and sport so that we may follow his or her career and report on the athlete’s progress. Please send your information to Mike Blake, Mount Vernon News sports editor, at mike.blake@mountvernonnews.com.
