Rowland High School Scholar Athlete Nicole Woo with Basketball Coach Carr as she signs a letter of intent for a partial scholarship to play basketball and attend Trinity International University in Chicago.

TODAY Rowland High School students, staff and family packed the Multipurpose Room at lunchtime to watch their all star RHS scholar-athlete Nicole Woo sign a letter of intent for a partial academic and basketball scholarship to Trinity International University in Chicago.
"This is a dream for Nicole to continue on in athletics. We are very proud for her because that opportunity is actually for a very small amount of people --
it is about only 2% of the high school population that moves on to play sports at the next level,"
said Rowland High School Principal Mitch Brunyer.
"Nicole Woo played Varsity Basketball four straight years and as a player she never cracked and succeeded to get three league championships. We will miss number 14 and once a Raider, always a Raider,"
said her Coach Quinten Carr.
"I am so excited for this opportunity to play basketball in Chicago and study in pre-physical therapy,"
said Nicole Woo.
"I want to thank my Mom and Dad - these are the ones that got me in the sport at a young age and dedicated so much time and effort driving me to games and practices, so the way I can repay them is to get most of my college paid for!"
She also thanked her coaches who have taught her life lessons on and off the court and pushed her to become a better scholar athlete.
