PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… It’s always been a dream to play at the next level but I never thought it could come true. Coming from a small town where not a lot of people get to experience playing on the collegiate level it feels amazing to have this opportunity.”
“… I had the opportunity to play at Allice Lloyd, Medaille College in New York, and Cumberlands. I chose the Cumberlands because they have the major that I am wanting to go into and they have a study abroad program that I have been looking into.The University of the Cumberlands is a Christian college and I also feel like I can carry my faith over to school and grow in my belief.”
“… I would like to thank all of my MTV coaches and Tracy Lockwood for the opportunity to play on a small but growing league in Fort Gay. I would also like to thank LC Head Coach Autumn Blevins and Assistant April York for pushing me on my high school team and never letting me give up. As well as Katie Neltner, Kayla VanHoose, and Jamie Shannon for being the best club coaches anyone can have. And of course my family for never letting me quit and always pushing me to be my best self.
