National Signing Day, held Nov. 8 for the Class of 2024, showcased 19 athletes at Cape Henlopen High School. It was a festive party focused on extended families and coaches with lots of teammates joining in for a series of freestyle photos to close out the celebration in time for afternoon practices. 

The 19 signees included seven boys and 12 girls.
