A bevvy of Bulldogs moves on to college sports Nineteen sign letters of intent BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It took two full tables to accommodate the 19 Brighton High School athletes who signed their college letters of intent on April 26 at the school. Colleges from the West Coast, the Midwest and the Northern Plains were among the schools the BHS studentathletes chose. “With this commitment comes expectations. But it also provides opportunities for them to become better in their sports and in the classroom,” said BHS athletic director Lindsey Solano. “Some of you, I’ve coached for just a couple Vershon of years. A couple of Brooks you, I’ve coached in every sport you could sign up for,” said Joel Flancher, whose son was one of the signees. “I’m proud to see this group. I’m proud to have taken part in you guys getting better. You Deni Jackson guys deserve it.” Fourteen of the graduates are leaving the state, including Vershon Brooks (football, Lutheran College, and Deni Jackson, volleyball, Arizona Christian. Of the remaining five, one Jordan is staying in the Denver area, and one is heading Sandoval 45 minutes north to Greeley. Distance from home played a part in most of the college choices. But not all.
