May 2 was a day that senior ath-

letes PJ Heath, Buddy Byers, Briar

Herd, Ashley Jaggers and Cameron Pike

will always remember. All five athletes

signed scholarships to play for a college.

Jaggers signed with Morris Col-

lege in Sumter. She plans to play either

power forward or center. “It felt good

to sign because I’m taking my talents

to the next level,” Jaggers said. When

asked why she wants to attend Mor-

ris College, she said, “My brother went

there; I wanted to keep it in the family.”

“I was pretty excited about signing “I

really like the campus and the golf coach

is cool,” stated Herd. Herd signed with

Spartanburg Methodist College to play

golf in the fall. Herd has been playing golf

all four years of high school and is glad

he’s moving up another level in his golf

career.

Heath plans to attend Southern

Union in Alabama to play basketball.

“I’m kind of nervous because it’s so

far,” stated Heath. “I’m going to miss my

family and friends because they’re the

people I’m with all the time,” said Heath.

In college he’ll play small forward.

“I like those positions because you

get the ball a lot,” said Heath. “I feel good

about signing because it showed how hard

you worked and how successful you’ve

been.”

Byers signed to the Georgia

military academy to play football.

“It was a great moment,” Byers stated.

Even though he played safety in high

school, he’ll be playing corner in col-

lege. He chose to go to Georgia Military

because of the program.

“Their programs are great, and the

military side of it will give me the disci-

pline I need,” Byers stated.

Byers plans to attend Georgia Mili-

tary for a year and a half then transfer to a

D1 school in the spring.

Senior Buddy Byers signed to Georgia Military.

Senior Ashley Jaggers signed with Morris College in Sumter.

Senior Briar Herd signed with Spartanburg Methodist.

Senior PJ Heath signed with Southern Union in Alabama.

Senior Cameron Pike signed to Coker College in Hartsville.
