Shepard High School senior Lilly Mucha this week signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball next year with Heartland Community College in Normal, Illinois.
Family and coaches gathered with her to celebrate the event.
“We are so proud of Lilly. Coach Casey Jefferson and her program at Heartland College are getting a kid that we call a culture keeper. She has a team-first mentality, makes us belly laugh and launches balls over center field,” said Shepard varsity head coach Kelsey Clifford.
