Cogan, who placed 12th in the IHSA Class 2A State Golf Tourney this past November with a 77, chose Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey.
"I liked the hometown aspect of LCCC and I like the coach and players," Cogan said. "That was a big reason why I chose LCCC."
Bauer signed with Parkland College. He said when he visited Parkland, he was sold on the school.
"I had a good time when I met the coach," he said. "They have a winning chemistry and I want to be a part of it."
Bauer said he will likely major in business, while Cogan was uncertain of his major at this time.
