I am finally an official part of the University of Minnesota’s football team.”These five soon to be graduates are not the only happy and relieved ones about the signing. Barb Schwab, Kalley’s mother, said, “We are really proud of her. It was a tough decision. This was the last school we looked at, but it feels right. Everything about it feels right.” As the ceremony concluded, cake was served and the elated “signers” put thoughts of college out of their mind in order to enjoy the moment. Friends and cake were in the forefront. Congratulations to Ty, Luke, Kat, Kalley, and Andrew! Even though you are moving on, Owatonna will be cheering you on from here.
