Ashlee Gurley '20 Recruiting Profile

I have played the game I love since I was five years old, growing up watching those "big" girls on tv gave me a big dream, and one day that dream would become reality. Growing up having an older sister that did nothing but cheered killed me because I would have nobody to go outside with me to throw, bat, or just play around. Then years later I was blessed with a younger sister that is now 10 and wants to do everything I do, which in a way is great! I have played for many travel teams, such as sabine lighting, nightmare, and Louisiana Titans 02, but am currently playing for the texas bandits. I've played high school ball since my 8th grade year, and little league for years now! 

I am very active not only in my school but also in the class rooms, churches, and community. My 8th grade year I maintained a GPA of 3.9 and stood 5th out of 45 students in my class. I push myself to work hard and never give up because one day its all going to be worth it. My parents also push me to succeed in everything I do, from my school work to playing sports. I couldn't thank them enough for all they have done for me and can't wait for years to come. They are always there to support me no matter the situation, I couldn't ask for better parents. The best thing is when we play ball all Saturday night and get home real late and then wake up early to go to church Sunday morning.

My future plan is to go to get a scholarship, and go to college and major in education. I love working with kids, watching them work hard, and it runs in my family! I always have a positive attitude, and am full of laughter all the time. I am well known in our community and I think that I would be a great candidate for your team!
