As for the volleyball team, each captain signed, Deirdre Pajares and Shelby Tamura both signed to New Mexico State University and Taylor Meade signed to Louisiana at Lafayette.

Each girl was thrilled to be starting on a new chapter of their lives with this commitment to play at the next level. Each girl would go up to the stage at the cafeteria to sign along with their families. Each family member was all smiles while pictures were flashed and memories were created.

“It’s great that I can sign and commit to college.” Meade said. “I can’t wait to begin the next chapter of my volleyball career in college.”
