Eight Vikings sign letters of intent to continue careers
Eight members of the 2008 Long Beach City College football team have signed national letters of intent to continue their academic and athletic career at four-year institutions this upcoming fall.
Wide receiver Stephen Burton tops the list as he will take his talents to the Southeastern Conference and the University of Kentucky. Burton was a first-team All-State and All-Southern Conference selection. He finished second in the state with 18 touchdowns.
The list of signees also includes defensive lineman Joe Faagata (Miles University), defensive back George Aludogbu (West Virginia State University), defensive back Scotty Miranda (Humboldt State University), and defensive back Markeis Carmichael (Azusa Pacific University).
Defensive end Bryan Braman (West Texas A&M University), offensive lineman Phil Vournazos (Stony Brook University), and quarterback Josh Powell (Harding University) have all signed and are already attending classes at their respective schools this spring.
Head coach Mike Reisbig also expects running back Darren Tubbs, offensive lineman Steven Peguero, linebacker Reggie Reams, wide receiver Reggie Richardson, and wide receiver Marco Perkins to sign with schools in the following weeks.
“We were a freshman oriented team this year,” said Reisbig. “So I think we did a really good job of getting eight of our 13 sophomores out to four-year schools.”
The Vikings look to improve on their 4-6 overall record in 2008. Long Beach opens the 2009 schedule on September 5 against L.A. Harbor College. |
