Senior In The Spotlight
Our first Senior in the Spotlight for 2020 is a thirdgeneration Sandite, in the top 10% of her class, and currently plays softball for Charles Page High School. She started her schooling in Anderson but moved to Sand Springs in 7th grade and has been highly active in the community ever since. Congratulations to our Senior in the Spotlight, Jordyn Pearson. Jordyn is extremely involved with the softball team both in school and in a competitive softball team. Her position of pitcher and softball practices takes up most of her extracurricular time but she still has found time for the yearbook, work, pitching lessons, and being involved with her youth group. Overall, Jordyn has her days filled from beginning to end with school, extracurriculars and life-fulfilling activities. She is currently working at Anytime Fitness in Sand Springs, where she works out at the gym in her free time. She has been involved with the yearbook since 9th grade and is, this year, a photo editor working on all the photos in the yearbook. Jordyn started playing softball when she was 11 years old, playing both school softball and competitive 8 WeAreSandSprings.com | January 2020
softball throughout that time. She is currently on the softball team for Charles Page High School but is also a part of Team Believe. She is the pitcher for Team Believe and owes her scholarship opportunities to playing with the competitive league. However, she also states, “I love school ball, I’ve made a lot of friends.” Recently Jordyn signed with Missouri Baptist University on a softball scholarship for the fall. Her head softball coach Ken Messer-Brooks came down for the signing and has given her several tours of the school. She verbal committed last January and signed on November 13th, and has ended up with a generous scholarship for softball and her academics. She states that he has opened up his home if she is ever homesick. He is also setting up a group text this summer for all the new softball players so Jordyn can pick her roommate from a teammate she connects with. MBU is a smaller school, which Jordyn states, is one of the reasons she chose the school. She plans on going for a pre-law or criminal justice degree and wants to continue onto Law School and plans to be a defense attorney. She also is wanting to minor in Journalism or Photography to supplement her major.
