Local athletes advancing respective careers, hoping for continued success at next level
A few local athletes are advancing their respective career by moving on in their life and doing what they love.
Headlined by Cord Stansberry, the Shadow Hills senior recently committed to Pepperdine where he will play basketball. Stansberry will look to help the Waves the same way he helped the Knights to two league titles and CIF-SS championship.
The Waves went 7-25 last year and 1-15 in the West Coast Conference. Stansberry should contribute right away to make them more competitive next season.
Congrats to @CordStansberry on his recent commitment to @PeppBasketball!

Elsewhwere, Palm Desert alum Jake Vincent earned his PGA TOUR Canada card, an exemption on the Canadian circuit following a win at Soboba Springs golf course earlier this month in a qualifier.
Vincent played his college golf at Southern Utah where he starred for the Thunderbirds, earning Big Sky Conference Player of the Year honors in 2022.
How about my guy @Jakevin15 earning his @PGATOURCanada card after winning a qualifier earlier this month at @SobobaCasino1. The Aztec alum (2016) will play professional golf north of the border, representing our valley! Go get 'em Jake! @pdhsalumni @PDAztec_Zink @pdhsofficial pic.twitter.com/ksQu4Sl8TJ

Speaking of Palm Desert golf, it's worth mentioning Cabot Ellis who is headed to Texas A&M. A senior standout for the Aztecs golf team, Ellis will try and compete for the Aggies but is currently focused on school, set to study turfgrass science, following in his father's footsteps.
Craig Ellis, Cabot's father, is the lead superintendent at El Dorado CC in Indian Wells, widely regarded as one of the most pristine and well-kept golf courses in the country.
