WPCNR PRESS BOX. February 2, 2005: On national signing day, the White Plains Tiger, Ike Nduka, the workhorse of the Tiger backfield this season, signed a Letter of Intent to attend the University of Buffalo on a four year, "Full-ride" Scholarship at a signing ceremony in the Career Center at White Plains High School Wednesday. Mr. Nduka said he selected Buffalo because the city of Buffalo reminded him a lot of White Plains, and he compared the coaching staff to his coaches at WPHS. Mr. Nduka plans to major in psychology at Buffalo, and looks forward to his Division I carreer. He is the second back in two years from White Plains to earn a four year scholarship to a Division I school. With Mayor Joseph Delfino, his proud parents, his coach, and his offensive line looking on, Mr. Nduka made it official.
