Five Bishop O’Dowd High School student-athletes signed National Letters of Intent/committed to play sports in college in a ceremony held in the Dominican Hall Lounge on November 8.
Family and friends were on hand to congratulate Michael Edwards-Gonzales, softball, Loyola Marymount University; Naseem Gaskin, basketball, University of Utah; Francesca (Frankie) Hammoude, softball, Oregon State; Elijah Hardy, basketball, University of Washington; and Emily Mattoon, beach volleyball, University of Oregon.
Gaskin and Hardy are the first two Bay Area guards from the same high school to go to Pac-12 Conference schools in the same year, and Mattoon is O’Dowd’s first collegiate beach volleyball player.
