Signing Recap: Alana Vawter… “A Cardinal Christmas In the Vawter Household!”

Alana Vawter had quite the decision to make in the last month when it came to picking where her future would be not only going to college, but where she would play softball.

As she detailed in her great “Inside Pitch” blogs for us–including one on the factors in her BIG DECISION and the one on where she ultimately committed–it came down to Texas–where she had originally committed to in 2016 when Connie Clark was then the head coach–and Stanford, which became interested in her once Jessica Allister became the new Cardinal head coach.

The outstanding pitcher/hitter from Kansas City ultimately took two official visits to the universities and made up her mind earlier this month.

She talks here about what Signing Day meant to her and her family and what she’ll be doing for the next year…
