As the school year winds down for Lake Orion High School, the school held their final athlete signing day of the year at LOHS last week where 12 seniors signed letters of intent to play their respective sports at various colleges across the country.

“It’s always a great morning and it’s also a time for us as educators and people who work with the student-athletes to really reflect. We see them up here getting ready to graduate, going onto the next level,” said LOCS Athletic Director Chris Bell. “We still remember them walking in as freshmen and seeing them develop as student-athletes. It’s a really proud moment for everybody.”

“Obviously we have countless student-athletes that play athletics here in the state of Michigan but only a few, privileged few, get the chance to go on and play at the collegiate level. And that’s dedication to their hard work on the court or athletic field but also in the classroom,” Bell said.

Bell also took a moment to thank parents and families for supporting their student-athletes throughout their lives and throughout their athletic careers.

“Without your dedication, your sacrifice – not only of your time and support but also your wallet and purse, they would not be here today,” said Bell.

This was the final LOCS signing day of the 2021-22 school year.
