Harding University is only ten minutes from Allie’s home in Searcy, and there is no doubt when the Lady Bisons are playing, she is there watching.  Allie received offers from other schools and she had other college options, but she knew Harding was her home and where she belonged.  “The homey atmosphere and good vibes from the players and coaches were a huge impact on my decision and they all made me feel so welcomed,” Allie says.  Having this feeling in her heart made the decision that much easier for Allie and she cannot wait for the experiences and knowledge she will gain at Harding.

Signing day for Allie went just as she had hoped and she was surrounded by her close friends, family, and coaches.  The event is short but a great time for people who have been there throughout Allie’s basketball years to celebrate how her success has paid off.  There have been many influential people that have guided Allie throughout her basketball career so far, and she says she would not have gotten this far without them.  “My AAU coaches, Heather and Andi have been my biggest supporters and have helped shape me into the player I am today.  They showed me what a real coach is supposed to be like and I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done,” Allie states.  Allie is hoping for a great next four years at Harding and she hopes to make relationships and memories that will last a life time.
