Two Belle Chasse Athletes Sign Letters of Intent for College
Two Belle Chasse High School athletes from the Class of 2021 signed their letters of intent to continue their athletic careers in college on November 11. Wrestler Nicholas McClendon will be wrestling at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama next year, and girls’ softball infielder Gracee Hess signed on with Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana.
McClendon looks forward to facing off against a higher level of competition and to continue pushing himself to improve his skills which, he stated, is exactly what got him the opportunity to wrestle in college.
In the 2020 Division II Louisiana High School Athletic Association State Wrestling Tournament, McClendon came in 3rd place for the 113 pound weight class.
