There were many smiling faces at the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's NLOI Signing Day ceremony on February 3rd. Eighteen young men from Ginn Academy and Glenville High School, all Tarblooder football players, along with all of the CMSD athletic scholarship recipients, signed their letters of intent to play ball for colleges and universities throughout the land.
Only they and their families know the blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into this accomplishment. We wish these stellar young men and their fellow athletes from the area the best of luck as they navigate into the future that they've created for themselves. We're very proud -- congratulations to all!
