Prestonwood Christian Academy (PCA) honored five student athletes who signed Letters of Intent to play sports at the collegiate level. All five students signed with NCAA Division I schools.

“I am incredibly proud of the five students who signed today to play at five high-caliber collegiate athletic programs,” said PCA’s Athletic Director, Chris Cunningham. “What impresses me more than their outstanding athletic talent, though, is their heart for the Lord. I know they are going to make a positive difference at these universities in more ways than just in their respective sports.”

Senior guard Brooke Alexander signed to play women’s basketball at Liberty University next year.  Alexander was the Offensive MVP for the 2014 State Championship team, and was also First Team All-District, First Team All-State and First Team All-Academic. Alexander was also a finalist for the Texas Female Athlete of the Year.
