March 28, 2023

Great news out of Wildcats Country today! Five more Warwick Wildcats signed National Letters of Intent (NLI) at a ceremony in the WVHS Media Center this morning. An NLI is a form completed to indicate a student’s commitment to play sports at NCAA colleges and universities.

See a photo gallery of images from the signing below this story.

The five young men signing letters today join 10 other Wildcats who signed their letters earlier this year, in November and February. Once again, the Media Center was packed with students, faculty, family, and friends who gathered together to celebrate this auspicious occasion and the bright futures ahead of these accomplished student-athletes.
