PCM seniors Gavin and Brevin DeRaad signed with the University of Dubuque football team recently during a signing ceremony at the high school. Joining the DeRaad twins at the signing were father Tony, left, PCM head football coach Greg Bonnett, back, mother Morgan and sister Avery, right. Gavin DeRaad chose Dubuque over Central College and Iowa Western Community College and Brevin, in blue, picked the Spartans over Central and Simpson College. Both athletes chose Dubuque because of their coaching staff and because it has a flight school. Both Gavin and Brevin will study aviation. "I would say we were a package deal," Gavin DeRaad said. "We didn’t really talk about it with one another but deep down we knew we would go to the same place." Their signing day ceremony included four other teammates. "The signing day was special," Brevin DeRaad said. "I have been playing football with them for a long time, and it’s cool to see them pursue their love for the game." (Submitted Photo)
