          Stratford had a girls soccer, softball, and two baseball players hold signing ceremonies Monday.

          Dylan Driver is headed to Auburn for women’s soccer. She is tied for sixth on the team career list with 85 goals and 48 assists, and is tied for fifth with 218 points. She’s a three-time all-region pick and all-stater, who also competed in cross country and track.

          Shelby Bandt signed with Division II Anderson in South Carolina. She had a career average of .382 and on-base percentage of .490, scoring 114 runs and stealing 60 bases.

          The signings of Micah Takac and Lawson Cole were announced last week by Mercer baseball. Takac pitched 78.1 innings and went 7-5 with a 2.42 ERA while hitting .322. Cole was 8-2 in 97 innings with 108 strikeouts and 1.23 ERA, with a no-hitter last February.
