The final signing period of the school year began April 15 when student-athletes around the Rancho Canyon area again had the opportunity to officially accept a college scholarship by signing a National Letter of Intent.
The spring, or regular, signing period allows athletes in all sports who did not sign last November their final opportunity of the school year to officially commit to a college program.
