PCM senior Kaden Clark signed with the Upper Iowa University football team during a recent signing ceremony at the high school. Joining Clark for his big day were (front row, from left) brother Kolby Clark, father Jacob Clark and mother Angie Clark as well as (back row) PCM head football coach Greg Bonnett. Clark picked the Peacocks over Grand View University, Central College and Simpson College. "I made my decision after going on a Grand View visit," Clark said. "That was the only one I hadn’t gone to yet. Upper Iowa felt the best. I got up there and it felt homely. The classes lineup really well. They do faster-paced classes so you’re only taking three per semester. If I miss a day for football, I won’t get too far behind, which I really liked. Clark said he will play offensive line at Upper Iowa and expects to settle in at a guard position. He was joined at his ceremony by five of his high school teammates. "I’ve been playing football with them for a long time," said Clark, who plans to major in kinesiology and exercise science. "It was kind of bittersweet, too. To see guys who I love and played with all this time break off on their own paths is kind of sad." (Submitted Photo)
