Huber Heights Wayne was another stop for OPS on Wednesday. The
Warriors had three student athletes sign to play college sports. Warrior
Football Coach Jay Minton got the student body settled in and the day got
underway.
First the presentation of the colors was performed. Then the national anthem
was performed. Next up was the announcement of the three student athletes that
were ready to sign.
Coach Minton praised the senior class of athletes as being one of the best in
his years at Wayne. He then introduced each of the athletes.
From the Warrior Volleyball program was Sara Bochenek. Sara will be playing
volleyball for Sinclair University next fall.
From the Warrior Soccer program was Amanda Jay. Amanda will be playing soccer
for Shawnee State University.
From the Warrior Football program was Marcus Freeman. Marcus will be playing
football for The Ohio State University.
Next the parents stood behind each of the student athletes as they signed
their letters of intent. Then each athlete spoke to their peers. Up first was
Marcus Freeman.
Marcus first thanked God, and thanked his family, coaches, teachers and his
fellow students. He then wished Sara and Amanda the best. Marcus also spoke
about the other players who didn't sign today, but will very soon. He then spoke
about what its been like since he left Wayne and entered Ohio State. He stressed
that college is about academics and not just a social life.
Up next was Sara Bochenek. Sara thanked her parents, friends, and teammates
from the volleyball team. She also wished Marcus and Amanda the best in
college.
Then Amanda Jay took the mike, she thanked Coach Smith of Shawnee State for
giving her a chance at the next level. She also thanked her soccer teammates,
her parents and family and all the coaches she has ever had playing soccer.
The event was over and with more athletes yet to sign, more announcements
will be made in the days ahead.
