St. Martin’s record National Signing Day- on the field, st. Martin's clas- of 20-19 certainly left - its mark... and it showed on- national signing day. - a baker's dozen football- signees,- headlined by brandon- cunningham's cowbell... that- led the yellowjacket s out of a- 14-year post- - season drought... and back to - the playoffs, the - last two years. - so here's to the record- settin- class of 20-19... and - it's really not even close. - - nat ---> cowbell ringing- "i just got off the phone with coach moorhead, we just got don- talking about - that. Visor, you feel me? - everybody got a hat. I mean i'm- going to be different, man. - - - - and it's good to be different.- that's what i want to express,- it's good to be different - sometimes, dog." Nat ---> "brandon cunningham!" Cheering- as st. Martin's only division i- signee... and one of just 67- players invited to the- first-ever world bowl... brando- cunningham's journey was- different.- even with south beach calling - his name... somewhere - along the way, the four-star- right tackle chose mississippi- state over miami... in what - turned out to be... the best fi- for him.- "that's what really got me. I wasn't really focused on the- school, the academics, none - of that. I was just focused on,- i'm in miami. Then i came to th- - - - realization like you said, i- matured. And going through this- recruitment process, man, it- will make you - learn how to make life decision- because you only get to choose- one school." That same rule applies to the - rest of the yellowjacket- class of 20-19... complete with- 13 football signees... and one- girls soccer. - way more than the previous- high-mark, of five... during- eddie wayne whitehead's - eight-year run... as head coach- "i mean we had plenty of athletes, kalem reddix, wayne - overman, tyler polk.- but this class right here, it - was phenomenal. Like we did - things that were- said couldn't be done." "today is a dream come true for me. I've been waiting for this- day for a long time.- i've been through a lot of- things. I've said things to - people. I've told them i'm goin- to- do it and i'm here, and it's- time." Those emotions also true, for - "ham" mc-gee and norde white.. - - - future teammates at east- mississippi community - college... who embrace the- moment of signing their - national letters of intent... - knowing... that they made it. - "man, it's so emotional because like i've been at this since i- was like four. That's like my - whole life, from four like- nonstop. Every day in and out,- every summer. It means a- lot to me. This is the biggest- accomplishment of my life so- far." "this is a day i've been waitin on a long time. All them long - practices, they finally - paid off. And when that day - comes and you've done seen all- - - - your work and you look back and- you're like, it was a good- journey." - - - - other st. Martin signees... - more st. Martin signees...- - - - | |||||
