Atlantic HS Students Sign NCAA Letter of Intent

Atlantic Community High School is proud to announce that six of their graduating students have received athletic scholarships to local and national colleges.

Wedley Estime, J’Rod Beard, Luther Maddy, Spencer Kashmere, Ezekiel Turner and Jephete Matilus signed National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Letters of Intent during the National Signing Day ceremony held at the high school on February 2, 2011. Parents, coaches and teammates were in attendance to witness this historic occasion.

Also present were City of Delray Beach Deputy Vice-Mayor Angeleta Gray and Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Clowney, a former graduate of Atlantic High School.

“It’s a defining moment in these athletes’ lives, and we’re so proud to be the place where they got their start,” said Atlantic High School’s principal, Dr. Kathleen Weigel.  “Atlantic High School and Delray Beach provide the foundation our athletes need to have a successful life. Likewise it’s always exciting to have former players like David Clowney come back to be a part of what we’re doing now and give back to younger generations.”

Three students have been recruited to play football in Virginia:  Wedley Estime & Luther Maddy at Virginia Tech University and J’Rod Beard at Hampton University. Jephete Matilus has committed to play football with the University of Minnesota. Ezekiel Turner signed to play football with Florida International University and Spencer Kashmere has signed with Palm Beach State College to play baseball.
