National Signing Day marked the achievements of basketball star Trinity Palacio. Known for her quickness and court savvy intellect, Palacio is helping lead the Titans toward a fourth straight district title. She signed with the University of Charleston where attempting to limit Palacio will undoubtedly remain the game plan of many frustrated opposing coaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soccer star Caroline Bates<\/span> signed with Johns Hopkins University. Bates has served as a role model on and off the field. Her strong leadership as team captain has not gone unnoticed and we have no doubt she will<\/span> continue to inspire and motivate fellow students.<\/span><\/p>\n

For football star Leoul Mulugeta, the day was life-changing. Mulugeta didn\u2019t begin playing football until high school, but immediately fell in love with the sport. Due to his talent and hard work, this dedicated senior will be playing for Catholic University. <\/span><\/p>\n

Getting this scholarship was great. I couldn\u2019t have afforded college otherwise,” Mulugeta said.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
