The setting for twin brothers Kalib and Liam Fortner’s college football signing was just right.
With a tank right behind them, the two Central High standouts signed their national letter of intent Thursday to continue their academic and athletic careers at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
The signing ceremony was held outside the Regimental Headquarters of the 278th Armored Calvary Regiment of the Tennessee Army National Guard at 3330 Sutherland Avenue.
Family members, friends and CHS representatives and coaches were on hand for the event, which started just after noon on a cold, cloudy day.
