Princeton High School senior Maya Gartin signed Tuesday to play volleyball for Sauk Valley Community College.

Gartin, a middle hitter for PHS, was a Bureau County Republican Second Team selection and received TRAC East All-Conference Honorable Mention. Gartin said Sauk coach Jay Howell first reached out to her and showed interest.

“I had checked out their school a little more and went to an open gym,” Gartin said. “(Howell) made it known that he really wanted me. And so I believe that their program is great and I cannot wait to be apart of it.”

Gartin’s teammate, Katie Bates, also signed Tuesday with Loras College to play volleyball and softball.
