Centennial High School senior Elexias Patterson signed a Letter of Intent to play college volleyball at Otero Junior College in Colorado last week. 
 &quot;It just means that I can continue doing what I love to do and I can get better so I can play Division I afterwards,&quot; Patterson said. 
 Patterson helped the Hawks win the Class 5A state championship this fall. 
 &quot;I chose Otero because it gives me a chance to get my grades up so I have a better chance of going to a Division I,&quot; Patterson said.
