Senior Michael Ellinger has chosen to go Westminster College, a Division III school.
“The coach told me that I had a spot on Nov. 30,” Ellinger said.
The day Ellinger got the letter is also the day he decided that he was going to go there. Westminster College is in Fulton, Missouri. Just over one and a half hours away.
“The location was important to my parents in case they wanted to come and watch me,” Ellinger said.
Westminster is not a Junior College, so Michael is planning to stay at Westminster for four years. Ellinger was not able to get an athletic scholarship due to Westminster being Division III. He will be playing the same position at Westminster as he did for PCH varsity soccer, defense.
Ellinger believes there will be lots of competition for the starting spots, since they have been a successful team as of late.
