Huntington Hosts College Athletic Night on Oct. 23
Huntington High School will host a college athletic night for students interested in continuing their athletic career on the college level. The special event is set for Tues. Oct. 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the School Heritage Museum (room 140). Admission is free and open to students, parents and interested community members. No registration is required.
The event, which is being organized by high school college counselor Bernadette Walsh and Huntington Director of Athletics Georgia D. McCarthy, will feature guest speaker Wayne Mazzoni, who has worked as an NCAA coach and author. He is affiliated with the College Athletic Recruiting Seminar.
Students will be presented with a variety of important details with a special emphasis on driving home the point that grades during the early high school years are just as important as those recorded in the junior and senior years, NCAA Clearinghouse eligibility information concerning qualifying for Division I and Division II participation, strategies to provide more options for school and sports and determining each individual’s “scholarship value.”
The evening will also feature a question and answer period. The Huntington Booster Club will also be on hand with Blue Devil apparel available for purchase.
For more information call the athletic office (673-2018) or the college counseling center (673-2131).
