Barnett chooses tough path at Central Arkansas
Quote:
McKinney Boyd senior Alex Barnett finalized her college decision Wednesday by inking the University of Central Arkansas, where she will play soccer and study to enter the medical field. The combination of collegiate athletics and a tough major may seem too much to handle, but she’s ready for it.
“I better be,” Barnett said. “It’s going to be hard, but go big or go home.”
That’s the attitude Boyd head coach Jimmie Lankford likes to see. He said she’s got the drive and work ethic he looks for in a soccer player, and that she’s going to be a good player at the next level.
Sounds like a solid pick-up from a nationally ranked high school program!
