McGill picks West Point

   Jared McGill still has two years left to wear the Chestnut Ridge singlet, and he already knows what colors he'll don at the next level.
   The Lion junior decided that Army West Point was the place he wanted to be a long time ago, so he didn't want to wait any longer. He made it official on Monday night in committing to the Cadets.
   "It's the most prestigious school out there," he said. "The campus is beautiful, and there's so much history there."
   McGill chose the service academy over Bucknell, Clarion, Penn, and Franklin & Marshall.
   At Chestnut Ridge, McGill is a two-time state placewinner, first finishing sixth at 132 pounds as a freshman. He then made a big weight jump last season, to 170, and took fourth in the PIAA tournament. He's likely to be at 170 again this year, and will be among the favorites if not the guy to beat for a state title.
   McGill joins teammate Justin McCoy in making a Division I college commitment. On Sunday night, McCoy announced he signed with Virginia.
   "I didn't expect to commit now, but West Point has always been a place I wanted to go. I know it's the place for me. Now I can focus on winning that state title at Ridge."
