CLEMENTS SIGNS WITH UT TYLER
Brook Hill Senior Whitney Clements recently signed on to play volleyball with the University of Texas in Tyler. "I'm excited about playing for Coach Turpin. I've watched her coach over the years and watched UT play since I was little," Clements said, "I always thought it would be exciting to play for UT but not until this year did I think I would actually play for them." Pictured, from left, are: Whitney's mother Marla Clements, Clements, father Ricky Clements, coach Amy Puente, Headmaster Rod Fletcher and Athletic Director David Collins. Clements is the first female athlete to leave Brook Hill committed to play sports for a four year university. "She was the heart of our volleyball team and a leader on and off the court," Puente said, "With hard work and dedication she will easily become an asset to the UT team."
