\u00a0Searcy (LP) For Searcy High School Senior\u00a0Allie Brown, basketball is her passion. \u00a0Allie has recently signed to play college basketball at Harding University in the fall. \u00a0Allie has been playing basketball since she was six years old and she has dreamed of playing for Harding since she was a young middle schooler. \u00a0Like anything in life, hard work and dedication has been a large factor for\u00a0Allie’s success in basketball. \u00a0She has played for travel teams around the area and has attended different types of camps to improve her play. \u00a0This hard work did not go unnoticed seeing as she has played on the varsity team for the high school since her sophomore year. \u00a0Allie not only works hard and is fully dedicated to playing, she loves the game and everything about it. \u00a0Her mother, Danielle, has been there with her at every tournament and game to watch Allie continue to strive in all aspects of life. \u00a0Looking at Allie as a full-time student athlete, Danielle says, “Allie is the hardest worker I know and she brings her best effort on and off the court in everything she does. \u00a0She is deligent in her work and is always putting others first no matter the situation.”<\/div>\n

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. \u00a0Allie received offers from other schools and she had other college options, but she knew Harding\u00a0was her home and where she belonged. \u00a0“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. \u00a0Having 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.<\/p>\n

Signing day for Allie went just as she had hoped and she was surrounded by her close friends, family, and coaches. \u00a0The 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. \u00a0There 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\u00a0without them. \u00a0“My AAU coaches, Heather and Andi have been my biggest supporters and have helped shape me into the player I am today. \u00a0They showed me what a real coach is supposed to be like and I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done,” Allie states. \u00a0Allie is hoping for a great next four years at Harding and she hopes to make\u00a0relationships and memories that will last a life time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
