With most of the area schools graduating this weekend another group of senior athletes will be saying “goodbye” to the local prep scene. But, for many, goodbye to high school sports is not goodbye to the sport they love. Several are getting a chance to move on to the next level. Here is a look at local athletes that have indicated they will continue their athletic careers at the next level. (If I have left anyone out, it was not done intentionally)
