HOUSTON - Make room on the wall inside the Second Baptist School fieldhouse for four more plaques.
On Wednesday, the Eagles athletic department celebrated four more student-athletes signing to the next level. It included three football players off the first state runner-up team since 1999 and one baseball player.
Starting with football, seniors Eli Smith (RB), Everett Skillern (RB/LB) and Colin Hedges (DL) all signed their National Letters of Intent.
Smith, who finished with more than 1,200 yards rushing this season, signed with Villanova, while Skillern, who was the Touchdown Club of Houston Defensive Player of the Year, signed with Brown University and Hedges inked his letter to Lamar University.
On the baseball diamond, Leighton Reddy signed with the University of Texas-Tyler.
St. Pius X's Tanner, Winkler sign on Early National Signing Day
HOUSTON - On the second National Signing Day of the 2021-22 year, a pair of St. Pius X Panthers made it official with their respective colleges.
Logan Tanner officially signed with San Diego State University, giving the Aztecs a nice piece at tight end. The three-star tight end had 22 offers. This fall, Tanner was injured and didn't play much for the Panthers but last year as a junior led St. Pius X in receiving with 980 yards and 12 scores on 43 catches.
On the baseball field, Kyle Winkler is heading to Sam Houston. Winkler was the ace of the Panthers' baseball team last season, leading them in multiple categories. In 12 appearances, Winkler tossed 60 1/3 innings with 60 strikeouts to just 16 walks and opponents hit .198 against him.
