A West Noble football player is changing his college football commitment. Brandon Pruitt says after some serious conversations with family and friends he decided the U-S Naval Academy is the best fit for his future. The 6-2 210 pound linebacker and running back was a junior all-state selection. He had a 3.9 GPA. Pruitt says with the decision his recruitment is 100 percent over.

In Class 3-A Garrett’s first baseman Kobe Lucarelli was all-state with Angola’s Aaron Chao, NorthWood’s Matt Dutkowski receiving honorable mentions. Warsaw’s Liam Patton was honorable mention in class 4-A.
