North Shore High School Spring 2018 Letters of Intent

10 NS High School Athletes Sign National Letters of Intent

Director of Athletics Don Lang proudly announced that ten more North Shore High School senior athletes signed National Letters of Intent (NLI) this Spring 2018. Eleven seniors signed letters with colleges and/or universities earlier this Fall 2017. A Letter of Intent is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an institution. Once signed, the institution agrees to provide that student with financial aid (if eligible under the NCAA rules) for one academic year in exchange for that student’s agreement to attend the institution for one academic year. Additionally, all colleges and universities that participate in the NLI program agree to not recruit these student athletes once he or she signs the NLI.

Congratulations go out to the following North Shore athletes who are featured with balloons and wearing clothing with logos from the prestigious schools they will be attending next Fall 2018 including Zachary Hasbrouck (Merchant Marine Academy), Dani Bleiweiss (Cortland ), Jake Walton (John Jay), Joe Barcellos (Sacred Heart), Elia Alberts (Stony Brook), Jose Vela (Brevard College), Liam Kunkel (LIU Post), Oscar Varela (Oneonta), Michael Gilligan (University of Chester), and William Drexel (Adelphi University). All of the students along with their families expressed excitement and joy to achieve this impressive accomplishment for all of their hard work and dedication.

At the National Letter of Intent ceremony, Mr. Lang praised these student-athletes while thanking their parents and encouraging all those in the audience to recognize and celebrate their tremendous success. Congratulations to all and best of luck next year!
