Flagler Palm Coast held a signing ceremony on Nov. 8 for baseball player Cody Clymer.
Clymer will play baseball for Hillsborough Community College next year. He led the Bulldogs with a .375 batting average, 27 hits and a .541 on base percentage last season. He also had a 5-3 record on the mound with a 3.75 earned run average and 55 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched.
“He’s a great young man who works super hard,” athletic director Scott Drabczyk said. “I think it was a great choice, a great fit for him. He’ll have the option after a couple years to play at a bigger school.”
A year after winning the Class 2A state golf championship, Matanzas’ Alexandra Gazzoli placed fourth at the 2A state championships with a 1-over-par 143 at the Las Colinas course at Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills.

It was the fourth straight year Gazzoli finished among the top four. She was third as a freshman and second as a sophomore.

Seabreeze’s Amelia Cobb placed 22nd with a 77-80—157. Cobb had also finished among the top four her previous two years at state.
