Eight Flagler Palm Coast High school athletes participated in the Bulldogs' final college signing ceremony of the school year on Tuesday, May 27.
In all, 27 FPC graduating seniors signed letters of intent this year to play collegiate sports.
Mikhail Zysek, the Bulldogs' career receiving leader, became the seventh FPC football player to sign with a university. Zysek will play for NAIA school Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens. One of Zysek's high school teammates, Corinthians "RJ" Watson, will play for Florida Memorial's cross-town rival, St. Thomas University.
The others who celebrated their signings on May 27 were girls wrestlers Ana Vilar and Tiana Fries; boys wrestler T.J. McLean; boys soccer players Jace Zecca, Noah Daily and Felipe DeCampos; and girls basketball player Alexandra Perez.
Fries and McLean will both wrestle at NAIA program Brewton-Parker College in Mount Vernon, Georgia.
Vilar will wrestle at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, which is also an NAIA school. William Penn has a competitive program, finishing fourth at NAIA nationals this year.
"They have a lot of solid girls," said Vilar, who placed second at the state girls wrestling championships in the 135-pound weight class.
"I'm strong and fast, but I want to work on my technique," Vilar said.
Vilar and Fries joined FPC teammates Mariah Mills (West Liberty University), Christina Borgmann (Felician University) and Kendall Bibla (Lindsey Wilson College) to sign with college women's wrestling programs. The five seniors helped the Bulldogs win the state championship this year with Borgmann and Bibla each winning a state title for the second time.
Daily signed with Trinity Baptist College of Jacksonville, which competes in the National Christian College Athletic Association. Zecca signed with the University of Fort Lauderdale, which also competes in the NCCAA. De Campos signed with Word of Life Bible Institute of Pottersville, New York, which competes in the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association.
Daily, Zecca and De Campos join teammates Jack Moberly and Evan Papadakos in signing to play college soccer.
Perez signed a women's basketball letter of intent with Trinity Baptist College.
