Pueblo Athletes Sign Letters Of Intent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pueblo Magnet High School hosted the first annual student athlete signing ceremony on Friday, Jan. 15. Seven of our Warriors announced their schools of interest or their choices of where they will be attending college in the fall.<\/p>\n

Among these Warriors, only one senior, Vanessa Molina, officially signed. She committed to attending Central Arizona College to play softball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe student athletes had the choice of signing at the college, their home, or here at Pueblo,\u201d said Assistant Principal Frank Rosthenhausler. \u201cVanessa Molina decided to sign here at her high school and wanted to give the opportunity to her fellow student athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three of her fellow softball teammates, Vanessa Duarte, Alizea Corday, and Sierra Gaskill, committed to attend Phoenix College and signed the next day, Jan. 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely proud of the girls\u2019 commitment on and off the field,\u201d said first year high school softball coach Curtis Ruiz. \u00a0\u201cIt makes coaching worth every minute especially when\u00a0 you get to see the players you have had for years finally achieve their dreams of playing ball at the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior Frankie Gomez was also apart of the celebration, and he expressed three schools of interest for baseball. Gomez is still undecided as to where he would like to attend college in the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank God and my family for the amazing opportunities and support they have gave me over the years.\u201d Gomez said. \u201cI still haven\u2019t committed to which college I\u2019ll attend. It\u2019s going to be a difficult decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasiah Booth and Justin Pledger have both received offers to play football at the collegiate level.<\/p>\n

Booth said that he is also undecided about where he will attend college but has narrowed the choice between Arizona Christian University, Jacksonville University, and three community colleges: Glendale, Mesa, and Scottsdale.<\/p>\n

Pledger has the two choices of attending Pima and Eastern College.<\/p>\n

Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Brandon Sanders said, \u201cOur student athletes deserve the best. This ceremony was very successful, and I hope this will become an annual event for our Pueblo students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
