National Signing Day: Here's where Marion County sports stars are continuing their careers?
The Winter signing period will see five Marion County students go from college pledges to official team members. One athlete will go as far North as Morganton, West Virginia and another as far south as Pasco County.
Four of five signees played their high school sports at Forest High School while another comes from Dunnellon High School.
Wednesday morning, two athletes will sign letters of intent to Division I programs, another will go Division II, and two will sign to junior college teams. Our latest core of signees will ink contracts to play volleyball, swim, and football.
