EISENHOWER SOFTBALL

feature

Karisma has Charisma

\\ By Matthew Ogle

EVERY TEAM HAS THAT STAR… THAT LEADER WHO THE REST OF THE TEAM LOOKS TO IN A TIME OF NEED. For Eisenhower softball, Karisma Garcia is “her”. The Eisenhower senior has created quite a resume. She was named first-team, all district for her play on the volleyball court this Fall. During the Spring, she puts on her spikes for the Eagles’ softball. Softball is her meal-ticket as her play during the summers for Impact Gold has paid off in a scholarship to play the game she loves at Texas Southern University. This is the 411, where we get a more in-depth look at Eagle senior star Karisma Garcia. VYPE: Take us on your softball journey. How did you get to where you are today? Garcia: Well, I initially started to play baseball when I was four years old. I’ve always been competitive with my older brother, so that’s why I kept playing until I was 10. Then, I transferred to softball and had some pretty good success. VYPE: What do you love most about the sport? Garcia: It’s definitely the competitive aspect of the game that appeals most to me. I love winning, being outside and the girls I play with. It’s the energy I love also. VYPE: So, what would be your dream car? Garcia: My dream car would probably be a Mercedes.
