FOOTBALL: Four Leopards sign National Letters of Intent

GAINESVILLE — A quartet of Leopard football players signed the dotted line on Wednesday to play at the next level.

Wilford, a defensive lineman, wracked up 110 tackles and seven sacks on the year. He was a first-team All-Cooke County selection

White, a linebacker, tallied 172 tackles his senior season to go with two interceptions and a sack. White was the District 9-3A Defensive Player of the Year, honorable mention all-state and  first team All-Cooke County.

Moore, wide receiver and defensive back, caught 40 passes for 699 yards and 10 touchdowns on offense. On defense, he had 15 tackles, three interceptions and three pass break ups. Moore was first-team All-Cooke County.

Johnson, a quarterback and safety, had 2,175 yards of total offense as a senior - 1,064 rushing, 1,111 passing. He was named the District 9-3A Most Valuable Player and first-team All-Cooke County.
