Wimberley's Harwood: Longtime ASU Commit Still Excited About College Opportunity
Wimberley senior Holly Harwood is approaching the one year anniversary of her October 2019 commitment to Angelo State University soccer. "I decided to commit then because it gave me plenty of time to prepare and took off a lot of pressure, so I could just play," said Harwood. "I feel like ASU is a good fit for me because of the style they play and the coaching is very excellent." Harwood may have traded her Hill Country home for a college opportunity in West Texas, but it's still close enough for her family to watch her future athletic achievements. Before the move occurs, Harwood has another year as a Wimberley High School soccer, track and volleyball athlete.

If you go back to her last complete campaign, her resume also includes a UIL 4A first-team all-state honor from the spring of 2019. Wimberley just made the cut as a UIL 4A school, so Jones is ready to take advantage of the opportunity. "I was very excited, especially thinking that I wouldn't get to have a season," Jones said of her first reaction to the news.
Mason 5-Sport Athlete Keller Lives & Breathes Sports With Family
One of its athletes, five-sport female Tristin Keller, has found a way to be a part of both groups. "I have played nine different sports growing up: gymnastics, soccer, baseball, softball, football, tennis, track, cross country and basketball. Keller ultimately condensed her athletic involvement to basketball, football, softball, tennis and track. At first glance, two things immediately stand out: the five sports she still plays and being a female member of the football program. [And] my entire family is part of the Mason Puncher football program: my brother, Tyson Keller, is a 2018 UIL 2A Division I state champ, my dad, John Keller, is an assistant coach, and my mom, Sherry Keller, is a cheer coach."
