“Mia is a leader in the way that she plays and she always works so hard to help her teammates and be the best that she can be," said Coach Kendyl Baird. "She always pushes herself 110% on the field and off the field and I’m excited to see how she does when she gets to college to play at Meredith. I'm glad to have her leadership and seniority as a part of this team and I’m excited for the summer.”
