Senior Spotlight: Harley Tompkins

MULBERRY GROVE – When she isn’t feeling so good about pushing herself while training or at practice, senior Harley Tompkins just reminds herself of one thing.

This spring will be the last chance to make the state tournament.

That inner drive has helped the Mulberry Grove softball standout train for the upcoming season as hard as anyone, and it also helped land her a spot on Parkland College’s squad in the springs of 2013 and 2014.

Fortunately for her, when she begins playing there, the winning has a good chance to continue.
