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.
