Rylee Sherman has committed to play volleyball at Lasell University in Massachusetts. Jaden Lee has committed to the track and field program at Lamar University. Andreya Garrett will be headed to Hinds Community College in Mississippi to play softball, and Brilie Cornelison will be playing softball at Kilgore College.
RYLEE SHERMAN – As a senior, Rylee has displayed the leadership and work ethic that every coach hopes for from their top players. It is hard to overstate the meaningful contributions that Rylee has brought to the volleyball program. Lady Pirate athletic program, Vidor High School, and the community.
This year she was awarded: District 19 4A Utility player of the year in a very competitive district, First-Team All-Orange Leader honors, 2nd Team Beaumont Super Gold honors. KOGT Athlete of the Week, Volleyball Sweetheart, Silsbee All-Tournament honors, as well as voted 2023 Team Captain by the program. She is also involved in track and field and has received numerous awards. She is a prime example of a lady pirate student athlete. She is great at managing her time and responsibilities which has led to her being on A/B Honor Roll all four years of school.
Rylee will be playing volleyball at Lasell University in Massachusetts. She is majoring in Forensic Science in hopes of becoming a forensic pathologist. Rylee will be an amazing asset to her program and university. She will figure out what it takes to be successful and then go about getting it done. She will represent Lasell volleyball and the university with excellence. She will make Lasell proud just as she has all of us at Vidor High School.
JADEN LEE – There are a million ways in which I could brag about this amazing young lady. Jaden Lee has the desire to improve continuously, show up consistently, and be a better version of herself each and every day. Jaden is among the most driven and dedicated athletes I’ve met. She is exceptionally talented, competing in field events and running events at each track meet. She pours herself into everything she does and refuses to give less than her best effort. Jaden has broken many school records and is a 4-year letterman for the Lady Pirate Track Program. She even broke the High Jump record in her first year at High Jump. Jaden holds the school record in Triple Jump with a Jump of 34 ft 8 in. Not only does she excel in Track but she also excels at volleyball, Soccer, and in the classroom. It is truly a joy to work with her and I cannot wait to see what she accomplishes in the future. The Lamar Lady Cardinal track program is gaining an exceptional athlete and one of the most phenomenal young ladies I have ever worked with. Congratulations Jaden Lee, we are so proud of you!
ANDREYA GARRETT: I am a senior at Vidor High School and a 4 year varsity returner to the Lady Pirates softball team. I am proud to announce that I am committed to play college softball at Hinds Community College in Mississippi. It has always been a dream of mine to play college softball, and l am proud to say that I get to accomplish that dream. I want to thank my family for the unconditional support that they have given me over the years. I am also thankful to them for being there and spending all of their free time and money at the softball park. I want to thank my select coach for calling me this past summer and not giving up on me. Thank you to everyone who has gotten me to where I am!
BRILIE CORNELISON: I’m so excited and honored to say that I’ve committed to continue my softball and academic career at Kilgore College. I’ve played softball since I was 5 years old and have always wanted to play it at the next level. I’ve also been on varsity since my freshman year and have made so many great memories and friendships through this sport.
After all these years, I can confidently say I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I want to thank my family for always being the best supporters. My coaches, who have worked numerous hours with me. God, who’s my rock through it all. And all of my teammates I’ve had throughout the years. I wouldn’t be where I am today without y’all.
