He says it feels like a dream come true to be able to play baseball at the division I level.
“It’s one step closer to hopefully playing baseball in the bigs one day,” said Bejarano.” Never satisfied with myself though still gotta keep grinding each and every day just like I would before signing. Looking forward to Bringing home a state title ‘3-peat’ this year for North Broward Prep.”

“It feels perfect being able to finally relax a little bit now, said Coupet. “It was a long crazy process for sure. Now I can just focus on my grades and going all the way with my team again in my last year.”
Both players will still have one more year left on the varsity baseball team at NBP. With the fall season wrapping up, they are set to begin their final season in March 2023.
