Two Addison Trail seniors sign National Letters of Intent

On Nov. 18, two Addison Trail seniors signed National Letters of Intent to play their respective sport at the collegiate level. They celebrated with teammates, friends, administrators, staff members and family members.

Colton Noel

Noel signed to be a member of the Men’s Basketball Team at Goshen College, where he plans to major in biology.

Noel has been playing basketball for about 11 years and said the highlight of his high school career was the game against Hinsdale South High School last year. During that game, Noel scored the first five points after chasing down a Hinsdale South player and blocking his shot. The Addison Trail crowd erupted into applause, and it’s a moment Noel will never forget.

“My favorite aspects of basketball are the intensity and playing as a team,” Noel said. “I just love the sport, and I don’t know what I would do without it.”

Arlind Rojba

Rojba signed to be a member of the Men’s Volleyball Team at North Greenville University, where he plans to major in business administration.

Rojba has been playing volleyball since he was in fourth grade and said the highlight of his high school career was making school history in June 2015 by being a member of the first Addison Trail volleyball team to compete in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) State Tournament, where the team earned 3rd place.

“Ever since I first touched a volleyball, I loved the sport,” Rojba said. “What I’ll remember most are the bonds we’ve built as a team over time.”
