David Mundee Joleigh Parmer, Harrison Hicks and Jack Alvord have been friends at Northside Methodist Academy since the seventh grade.The three did so on Wednesday morning, holding a signing ceremony at the Northside Methodist Academy gym.
“I am proud of all of them,” Hicks said. “We have been dreaming about this since we were kids. I am just glad we get to do it together.” “Coastal is the first school that I officially toured,” Parmer said. “I got lucky and blessed that God kind of put me in that place. He blessed me in seeing what I saw in the team. The team is a great group of girls, and I am excited to play with them next year. The coach is a Godly person, and I am excited to be mentored by him. I am lucky he was there. God put us all together.”
“She definitely has put in the work for this,” Dennis said. “She is an athlete who will come to practice early and set up and she always wanted to stay late to get in extra reps.”In addition to the team and coaches, Parmer also liked Coastal Alabama academically. “When I got here, Harrison was in eighth grade and the first time I saw him pitch, his mechanics were pretty sound and everything worked like it should,” Northside Methodist baseball coach Mike Mordecai said. “I knew it was a matter of time with him getting bigger and stronger and getting his velocity up to compliment his breaking ball and he has done that. He is pretty reliable.Hicks said Coastal coach Keith Griffin played a big part in his decision to sign with the Coyotes.
