Veterans Memorial High School senior, Jackie Howell, is trading in her patriot blue for Apaches yellow. She has been awarded a volleyball scholarship and has just signed her letter of intent to attend Tyler Junior College.
“Jackie has pure athletic ability, a powerful arm, and she has a great read on the ball,” said Brandi Hood, Tyler Junior College Volleyball coach. “After having her on campus and being able to get a sense of her personality and goals for her future, we knew adding her to our team was a must.”
Howell has been a standout VMHS athlete and has earned many accolades throughout her athletic career at Mission CISD which include TWSA 2018 All-State First Team, VYPE 2018 All-State First Team, MaxPreps Player of the Week, 5A All-State Hitting Percentage Leaders, 4 Year Letterman-2-year Captain, 4x Bi-District Champion, 3x Area Champion, 2016 Defensive Specialist of the Year, 2x MVP of the Year and 3x First Team All-Area Player of the Year.
