As Katherine Woods picks up the pen and presses down her signature, she is not only signing her intent to play college volleyball, but also her education and the major determinants of the course of her college years.

Seniors Kalin and Katherine Woods signed to Central Baptist College to play volleyball next fall. Central Baptist College is located in Conway, Arkansas. Although it is uncommon for two twin sisters to be signed to the same college and the same sport. Katherine plans to major in special education with ultimate goals of someday becoming a special education teacher. What she is looking forward too the most is “meeting all the new people and just having fun.”

“I have met my team and they are all really nice and super funny and they are just great to be around,” says Woods.

Morgan Neal, senior, will continue her softball talents at Tulsa University. She has been playing since she was only 6 years old. The middle infielder will not only succeed on the softball field, but also in the classroom as she plans on majoring in sports medicine.

“I am looking forward to furthering my athletic and academic career at a good academic college and a top 25 athletic program. I have met my team and the coaches and players are all down to earth. It’s like one big family, which is what I liked most about it,” says Neal.

Although Neal expects that her first year at Tulsa University may be “tough adjusting to the changes in difficulty in practice and classes”, her academic and athletic records prove her to be more than ready and capable.

Weston Rogers, senior, signed to play baseball as a pitcher for the University of Arkansas. Rogers, being a dedicated athlete since he was four, has always had the Razorbacks as his dream choice, but never thought it was even possible until just last year. He has plans on majoring in either biology, chemistry, or both in biochemistry.

“I’m going to look forward to the great facilities, the great atmosphere at the university, and the tough competition I am going to face. I think my first year there will seem like its overwhelming at first with a busy schedule, but I also think I will grow used to it and enjoy it a lot,” says Rogers.

With great ambition along with welcoming, excellent teammates, Rogers will have no troubles come next fall.

The University of Central Missouri made Paige Redmond, senior, fall in love when she got the opportunity to visit. The guard/ shooting guard has been playing for about 10 years now and her basketball career has only just begun.

“I’ve met about three of my teammates and they are real funny. I’m going down there with four other people I know so I’m super excited. I think it will be hard to adjust being on my own but I’m excited to manage my own schedule,” says Redmond.

Redmond has plans to major in criminal justice while taking Missouri basketball on by storm next year.

Carlye Bohannan also signed to play college basketball along with Redmond. She will be attending Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma as a point guard. Bohannan will be majoring in medical/molecular biology while continuing her basketball tradition of excellence since she was in the second grade.

“I look forward to a new environment and the next chapter of my life. I think my first year will be great but a challenging adjustment,” says Bohannan.

Kimberly Huff, senior, will be playing for Arkansas Tech come next volleyball season.

“I’m looking forward to playing on a great team and I love the coach. I’ll be playing with my sister for one year so I’m praying I get to actually play my freshman year,” says Huff.

Huff’s sister is currently in her third year at Arkansas Tech which has provided her with opportunities to see first-hand just how kind and hard-working her future teammates are. She can tell they are “competitive and want to do whatever it takes to win” which is something she likes about them a lot.

“My first year I am hoping to play. I think I have a great chance to step in as a freshman but only if I work hard the rest of this school year and through summer. I need to get faster and stronger. It’ll take a lot of work but I think I can do it,” says Huff.
