Eight Permian athletes were recognized for their hard work for continuing to play at the collegiate level with a Spring Athletic Signing Ceremony Monday at the Permian Indoor Training Facility.
The athletes who signed on the dotted line during the ceremony included Cooper Popejoy, Jordan Bruner, Braden Young, Ernesto Melendez, Matthias McClure, Mylah Arzaga, Miley Minyard and Kai Keets.
Popejoy, who will be playing baseball at New Mexico Junior College, talked about what Monday’s ceremony meant for him.
“I’m just very blessed to have this opportunity and have a coach (Tate Criswell) that’s been invested in me and the team and I just want to thank all my parents and everyone that supports me for this opportunity,” Popejoy said.
