Kimberly Newsome signed a two-year full scholarship to play softball with the Coahoma Community College Tigers. In high school she was a fielder. This is unique, according to her coach, Nick Hilman, Jr., because she was awarded the scholarship this season even though the team was unable to play. “This means she has the talent,” he said.
