On Thursday, May 16, seniors Trice Moore, Martin Parrish, Will Speakman and Landon Wallace celebrated their plans in the high school's auditorium with their families and some Trojan teammates present.
Martin Parrish, a member of Kent County High School's Class of 2024, plans to play soccer for Salisbury University this fall.
For Athletic Director Kevin Taylor, it's a big deal watching a Kent County High School student take their game to college, no matter what NCAA division.
"If you're going to that next level — which is college after high school — to play sports, that's an incredible achievement right there," Taylor said. "It's absolutely amazing to do that."
Kent County High School's Will Speakman is going to play lacrosse at Bridgewater College this fall.
Moore is heading to Washington College next year, where he will be a member of the trap and skeet shooting team.
Parrish will continue his soccer career down the Eastern Shore at Salisbury University.
Speakman and Wallace are both following their passion for lacrosse.
