Personal Statement

My name is Talise Jones. I am a 2022 graduate of Blanchard Oklahoma. My softball career began when I was 5 years old, and I still carry the same love of the game today. I am dedicated to physical fitness, and take great pride in staying active and in top shape throughout the year. On the field, I am a RHP and SS for my travel team, the Oklahoma Athletics, and play centerfield for the Blanchard Lions HS Softball team. In short, I am a utility player who loves to play the game of softball and will help my team wherever necessary.

I love our small community and enjoy outreach opportunities. I am an active member of our church and a proud citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. The Chickasaw Nation provides numerous opportunities for students, one of which is a leadership program called Chikasha Pehlichi Ikbi (CPI), which immerses students in leadership roles, cultural knowledge, and introduces students to prestigious leaders. 

While I am still undecided about my college major, I am excited about the opportunities that playing college softball offers. The new relationships, challenges, and learning opportunities are drivers for me every day.
