Saucon Hosts Second 2019 Student-Athlete Signing Ceremony

Back in February the Saucon Valley Athletic Department hosted its annual Student-Athlete signing ceremony in recognition of National Letter of Intent Day.  It is a day when student-athletes all across the country officially commit to their prospective universities.  At that time a few Panthers were still undecided and had not yet made the decision where they would continue their academic and athletic careers. Tuesday evening in the high school library Athletic Director Bob Frey and his staff acknowledged a second wave of student-athletes who shared their college decisions.
