Dexter High School athlete Alyssa Warrens signed her letter of intent to play golf for Wallace State Community College in Alabama. Wallace State women's golf team won the Alabama Community College Conference Region 22 Tournament.
"I felt that the coach was a great guy and I just seem to fit best with him and his program," commented Warren. "It just felt like the best fit for me. I looked at a bunch of colleges, some in Alabama, some closer. This one was warmer!"
When asked what she wanted to major in at the college, she said she had not chosen a major, but thinks it might be in marketing.
Warren has played golf since she could walk and spoke about her love of the game.
"So I have always played golf, since I could ever walk," commented Warren. "My brother and my dad both played and they taught me how to play and I just loved it ever since."
Alyssa couldn't state a most memorable moment during her high school golf career. She said they were all special to her especially playing with the boys team.
"Being on the boys team has been the best, everything has been great," Warren said. "They treat me like I am their sister so everything has been funny!"
If she had to pick a moment she said it was winning the match in Kennett last season. She said she was the only girl there and defeated all the boys.
"Alyssa has had a great high school career," commented Dexter Golf Coach Eric Sitze. "She works hard on her golf game all year long. Playing against the boys has made her a tough competitor. But honestly I think she likes stepping up there and out driving them the most. It is definitely hard on her playing the blue tees, but should translate well to the college course yardages. probably a highlight or two for her to this point would be winning the Kennett match last year. Second would be breaking 90 at the state tournament."
"Alysa will do well at the college level. She's a hard work and after playing with boys all her life she will not be intimated by anything at the next level," continued Sitze.
She averages a score of 40 - 42 per nine holes from the men's tees.
