February 1 marked the date that student-athletes across the country competing in certain sports could finally declare their college of choice by signing their National Letters of Intent. The Feb. 1 signing date is limited to players competing in football, soccer and boys water polo, but most high schools in the area hold ceremonies for all athletes that have committed.

February 1 marked the date that student-athletes across the country competing in certain sports could finally declare their college of choice by signing their National Letters of Intent. The Feb. 1 signing date is limited to players competing in football, soccer and boys water polo, but most high schools in the area hold ceremonies for all athletes that have committed.
At San Juan Hills, JSerra Catholic and St. Margaret’s Episcopal, dozens of athletes took part in signing day ceremonies.
The day was a historic one at San Juan Hills, as the relatively new high school celebrated its largest class of college-bound student-athletes in its 10-year history. 15 student-athletes took part in the day’s festivities.
Other notable NLI signees include Richard Wagner, a San Juan resident that played quarterback at Santa Margarita. Wagner is committed to play for Cornell.
