Taylor Groover '18 Recruiting Profile

I have worked hard and proud to become a bracket pitcher, 2nd base and outfielder on my American Freedom 18U Patton team. I am also on the varsity softball team for my 6A high school, Lewisville HS, starting as a freshman. I've played at a high level of competition for many years, including going to the state finals with my high school in my freshman year as well as going to several national tournaments with my select team.  I've been able to play multiple positions and help my team wherever they needed me most. Last season,  after our high school starting pitcher was injured,  I jumped right in the middle of the season in one of the hardest districts in the state and took over the starting pitching position. I loved the pressure and it only made me want to work harder.  I was named All Distict Pitcher honorable mention last season. My goal is to be able to play softball at a D1 or D2 school while achieving a college degree in my field of study.  I am a hardworking player who will do what it takes to be successful.  I continue to learn and grow myself as a student athlete as well as looking for opportunities to do the same in my community.   I am a solid student in the top 8% of my class with a 4.8 GPA, including AP classes, a member of National Honor Society and in Student Counsel leadership.
