Gunner Truby is going home. Home for the Conifer High School senior is Bushland, Texas, a mere 22 miles from the Canyon campus of West Texas A&M. Playing for the Division II Buffaloes has always been a dream. Now, it’s going to become reality after Truby signed his letterof-intent on Feb. 3 during National Signing Day. “It was definitely one of my top choices if I didn’t get anything else. Thank

Hendrix College in Arkansas, Bethel University in Minnesota and Midland (Neb.) University. He was a first-team allconference and second-team all-state selection.
“He’s been a three-year starter at the linebacker position for us. He and Noah (Wagner) were kind of the captains. They would get the calls on defense,” said Conifer head football coach
Jonathan Shipley. “He’s the kind of guy in the middle who kept that contained. He’s a tough kid who is never afraid to hit.” NATIONAL SIGNING DAY
