National signing day for high school athletes is usually the marker for the end of one chapter in life and the launching point for the next four years.

Millwood had the most unique signing day story in Hall County as these three Knights seniors signed Wednesday with Defiance College, a Division-III school located in the Northwest Ohio city of about 16,000 residents with the same name as the institution.
