High School Athlete Commits to College Team

A senior from West Orange will attend college in New England to play soccer

In a formal signing ceremony recently at Cheshire Academy in Connecticut, Alanzo Aris of West Orange, son of Paulette Wilson, committed to playing soccer at Endicott College.

Aris joins nearly 30 other seniors and postgraduate students from the Academy who have signed letters of commitment to play college sports at competitive schools ranging from Duke University to the University of Delaware. With sports ranging from baseball to lacrosse, soccer to tennis and football to basketball, the Academy’s student athletes will continue to reach their goals of academic excellence while contributing their sports prowess to collegiate teams. The number of students who will play on college teams is the highest in recent history at the Academy.

“I am very proud of our student athletes who get out there day in and day out to compete for our school,” said Athletic Director Brett Torrey. “I especially wish to congratulate those who are moving on to pursue their dreams at the college level.”
