AUSTIN — It was a day to celebrate for 14 student athletes at Westlake High School, all of which signed national letters of intent to continue their athletic careers on the college level.
Beginning with baseball, Peyton Sanderson signed with the University of Richmond. Sanderson's teammate, Dylan Savino, inked a letter of intent to play for Howard College.
"I feel like if I go to a good junior college like Howard first, I will probably have an opportunity at a better Division One program afterwards," said Savino.
