A gifted local athlete is looking ahead to his future well ahead of graduation after making his intentions known to an Alberta college.
KeAndre Evans, a grade 12 student at Outlook High School, is arguably a phenom on the volleyball court, and his skills have grabbed the attention of a number of post-secondary schools vying for someone of his caliber to join their rosters.
On December 22, the social media page of the Medicine Hat Rattlers announced that Evans had signed a letter of intent to play for the team for the 2018-19 volleyball season.
