The Chesnee athletic department had seven students sign to compete at the college level next season on Thursday morning giving the Eagles ten commitments as of now for the 2018-2019 school year.
The first player to sign for the Eagles on Thursday was Sydney Sanford who committed to run track and cross country at Converse College next season. She will be majoring in art education and said that the environment at Converse is what led her to choose the Valkyries. "I really like the environment," said Sanford. "Every time I have been there everyone is so caring and cares about your future. That was the kind of environment that I was looking for when looking at colleges." Spartanburg Methodist College also got two commitments from Chesnee on Thursday as Austin Brown signed to play baseball and Jackson Hoskyns committed to compete in track and field. Brown said that his commitment to go to Spartanburg Methodist had a lot to do with the familiarity he feels with the program. "I have a few friends that go there in Nate Lamb and Kobe Miller," said Brown. "They are doing really good over there and when I got the offer I knew where I wanted to go. I'm excited about going to work with Coach Wallace and the coaching staff there too." Lander added two Chesnee commitments as well on Thursday as Chase Carver and Jacob Henson signed to compete on the fishing team with the Bearcats. They both said that the opportunity to continue their fishing careers together was big in their decision. "We not only fish here together on the team together but we fish on other lakes around the area together too so we know each others strengths and that helps us as a team," said Carver. Henson also added, "I feel like we have a lot of advantages of fishing together over the years and if we went to college with a new fishing partner it just wouldn't be the same." Chesnee wrestler Brandon Dasen also committed to continue his wrestling career next season with Coker College. Dasen who won over one-hundred matches in his Eagles career said that the family feel at Coker was key in his decision. "Coach Nelson the head coach at Coker made me feel like family when I went there on visits," said Dasen. "I'm looking forward to getting a chance to compete for a starting spot down there next year." The Eagles also had a member of their inaugural soccer program commit on Thursday as Ilya Shubentsey committed to continue his soccer career at Erskine College next year. Comments are closed.
