WALDORF, Maryland -- Since transferring from McDonough High School to Westlake as a junior, De’Ana Florence and Amber Jordan were always together like one union.
Both were on the Westlake varsity softball team under head coach Carl Bowman, and they had a close friendship and sister-like bond on and off the field.
Now, the two Wolverines will continue that bond to college. They recently signed to the Virginia Union University Panthers, an NCAA Division II outfit in Richmond, Va., a historically black university that competes in the Eastern Division of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Florence received a scholarship to play basketball and will walk on the softball team, where she will play with Jordan, who received a softball scholarship.
Florence said it felt great not only to continue her education and officially sign, but that it will be fun to go to school with her high school teammate.
“Me and Amber are very close, and we are even closer now that we are up here at school now,” Florence said. “We’ve been hanging out a lot, and we are living in the same dorm and are right next to each other. So we are close friends, and our families are becoming real close.”
