BOILING SPRINGS, SC - On Wednesday morning friends, family, and teachers gathered in the Boiling Springs auditorium to honor the first two Bulldogs this year to sign to continue their athletic careers at the college level as Savannah Page signed to continue her volleyball career and Lani Hodge signed to continue her lacrosse career next season.
Boiling Springs volleyball player Savannah Page was the first player to sign on Wednesday as she committed to continue her career at USC-Upstate next season, where she will look to major in elementary education. Page ended her high school career as a five year letterman where she was named All-Region in four of those five years. This season she was also named All-State (one of the top 18 players at the 5A level) along with being named to the North-South team just this past week. She finished her high school career with 756 kills, 114 ace serves, 139 block kills, 781 digs, and 1,004 assists. "I just really love the program and since I'm wanting to major in early childhood education they're a great school for that as well," said Page. "Upstate has a new coach there and the whole program is changing with their new coach as they're now sitting at third in the conference and I really like the culture that she's creating there." Page said that her choice to go into elementary education comes from all the great teachers she's had in her school career including her high school volleyball coach Allyson Elliot. "The teachers that I've had here have just really impacted my life," said Page. "Coach Elliot has been such a huge role model. I want to be able to come and coach one day myself and that's because of her." Lani Hodge committed to continue her lacrosse career at Anderson University next season where she plans to major in political science before going on to law school once she graduates. Hodge has been a member of the Boiling Springs varsity lacrosse team for three seasons now, as she started in the tenth grade, and has been the captain her junior and now senior season. She said that the chance to be part of a new program is one reason that she chose Anderson University. "I'm really excited to be a part of the program as they're building brand new facilities and my freshman year will be the first year of the program," said Hodge. "I'm excited to build that program with them and I'm looking forward to just getting down there and playing lacrosse." She also said the campus was a key in her decision to Anderson University next year. "The campus is beautiful and close together which I like," said Hodge. "It's a smaller campus but not that small so that you can make lots of connections. The athletic facilities are out of this world and very nice." -James McBee Comments are closed.
