SIGNING DAY: Willis athletes accept scholarships from near and far
WILLIS - From Downtown Houston, to Kansas, to Manhattan.
This year's Willis National Signing Day had athletes going near and far.
On Wednesday morning six athletes, in three different sports, signed their National Letters of Intent to continue playing the sports they've excelled at it.
One signing in particular came down to the last moment.
"It's something that me and a friend of my family has been working on for a little bit," Jones said. "When I got the word yesterday, I immediately said yes."
Jones, who has amassed over 200 career tackles, was a first-team All-District and All-County selection this past season.
"Jonathan is a very passionate young man who has earned the right to go to the next level," Willis coach Audie Jackson said. "He might not be the biggest guy on the football team. But he has proven that if you play with passion and take care of your grades and willing to play for something bigger than yourself - all those dreams come true."
Jones had one offer prior to Tuesday and he was about to sign there. The second offer was a dream come true of sorts.
"Mostly, I know a lot of kids that go there," Jones said. "I'm 5-foot-9 so it's hard for me to make it to a Division I school. It's a chance of a lifetime, honestly."
Joining Jones at Texas Southern will be teammate Jimmy White, a second-team All-District offensive lineman selection this year.
"Jimmy is the strongest athlete that I've ever coached in 26 years," Jackson said. "What an opportunity he has."
It is unclear with the 6-foot-2, 300-pound lineman will be used on offense or defense with the Tigers.
Mimms was a running back for Conroe and was converted into a cornerback when he arrived at Willis. When injuries affected the Wildkats this past fall, Mimms returned to running back.
"We hadn't beat Brenham in 19 years," Jackson said. "Darrell steps up at running back and has one of the biggest games all year long. It had a lot to do with his passion."
Come fall, Willis will be represented in Manhattan.
Boys soccer player Pedro Gallaga signed to play for King's College, a Christian liberal arts school in New York City.
Gallaga put out some film on himself to a couple recruiting services and, impressed with his grade-point average, King's College got in contact.
Gallaga made a visit and liked it. He never imagined himself living in Manhattan and it was never a goal of his.
"It's different from Texas," Gallaga said. "It was freezing when I was there."
Gallaga will study business and will be just a couple blocks from Wall Street.
Willis coach Thomas Stout joked to the audience about how the average salary of a King's College graduate is no less than six figures.
"Pedro has a bright future on and off the field," Stout said. "He will do whatever it takes to make himself better as well as the team."
Willis also had a girls soccer player sign. Destiny Haliburton, who is currently nursing a knee injury, is set to play for Texas Lutheran University.
Willis coach George Hourahan spoke highly of Haliburton, a four-year letter winner, as a role model.
"What she means to the program on the field, you can't put into words," he said. "What she means to the team off the field, you can't put into words."
Willis softball player Rachel Brown became the third member of the program to sign for college this year. Brown is headed to Schreiner College. Brown was a second-team All-District selection last year and a four-year letter winner.
"She came in and set the world on fire," Willis coach Stephanie Shelly said. "She has been an integral part and a team player."
Brown is hoping to one day become a veterinarian of exotic animals, which will take about eight years of college to accomplish.
"She is the epitome of a student-athlete," Shelly said. "The student being first. She's always been conscientious about her grades."
