Flinthills’ Vogts signs with Tabor College
Flinthills High School senior Grant Vogts recently signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Tabor College in Hillsboro next year.
The 6-foot-5 guard/forward was an All-State honorable mention selection and a second-team All-Lyon County League pick this past season for the Mustangs.
“Grant is a player that was a no-brainer for me,” Tabor coach Micah Ratzlaff said. “He is great in the classroom, and he has extremely high character. Grant has a huge upside on the basketball court, and his ability to shoot the basketball at 6-5 will be a nice addition to our program.”
