On Wednesday morning the Boiling Springs Bulldogs had eight students sign to play college athletics next season at five different schools with local ties.
Logan Billings and Michael McDowell both committed to continue their football careers at The Citadel next season. McDowell and Billings were both named to the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas this past season where they helped the South Carolina team snap a three year losing streak to the North Carolina team. They also were both named All-Region in both their junior and senior seasons. "It's great knowing we're going to be teammates still next year," said Billings. "We will get to continue on the legacy." Two more members of the Boiling Springs football team committed to play college football next year as Caden Peeler and Shamar Wilson both signed to play at Limestone. Peeler was a key member of the Boiling Springs offense last season from both the wide receiver position and as a kick returner on special teams. Wilson was a starting defensive back this past season for the Bulldogs and both players are members of the Boiling Springs track team. They both said that they look forward to joining a program that's still in its early stages. 'I took a screenshot of all the receiving and special teams records and put it on my phone," said Peeler. "My goal is to break each of those records by the time I'm done there." Anna Greer committed to Anderson University on Wednesday to continue her tennis career next season. Greer is a six year letterman for the Bulldogs and was named All-Region in each of those six years. She was also named to the North-South tennis match after finishing her senior season with a 12-2 record from the number one singles position and finishing third in the Tennis State Singles. Greer said that her decision was a tough one for her this past season. "I really stressed about where I was going to choose this past season as I had a few options," said Greer. "Anderson just had a little more of what I was looking for and the teammates down there are great." Boiling Springs track team member Allison Crapps committed to continue her track and field career at Converse next season in pole vaulting. Crapps was named to the All-Region team and said that there were many factors that led her to sign with the Valkyries. "There aren't a lot of schools that offer pole vaulting and they happen to be one of those schools and they offered me," said Crapps. "Also my mom went to school there and with all that it just seemed like home." The Bulldogs also had another athlete commit to Converse on Wednesday as Jetta Turner will continue her cross country career with the Valkyries next season. Turner is a six year letterman in both track and cross country and has received All-Region honors three times. Turner said she is really looking forward to joining the program at Converse next season. "I'm looking forward to continuing my running career at Converse," said Turner. "I wanted to stay near home and when their coaches invited me for a tour I just fell in love with the campus." Boiling Springs lacrosse also had an athlete sign on Wednesday as Jacob Douglas signed to play at Lander University next season. Douglas is a three year letterman for the Bulldogs and said he is looking forward to being a part of the new lacrosse program at Lander next year. "They're going to be a first year program next year so I look forward to the chance to get to start right away," said Douglas. "I look forward to being part of the first group of lacrosse players at the school." Comments are closed.
