Mikaylah Williams hasn’t played a high school game yet, but she’s already caught the attention of college coaches in a big way.

A freshman-to-be at Parkway, the South Bossier youth verbally committed to play softball at Louisiana-Lafayette last year. She’s also already received offers to play basketball for schools like LSU, Ole Miss and Arkansas.

The 13-year-old Williams admits the attention can be a bit overwhelming at times, but she’s keeping it in perspective.

“I’m appreciative of the opportunities and that the coaches see something in me,” she said.
