Granger pitcher Wade signs with UHV softball

University of Houston-Victoria softball coach Lindsey Ortiz today announced the signing of left-handed pitcher Alexi Wade of Granger for the 2021-22 season.

Wade is a 2021 graduate of Granger High School where she was named the Valedictorian of her class.

Wade pitched and played first base for Granger where she was named first team all-district and the school's Female Athlete of the Year. She also earned recognition on the academic all-state first team. She compiled a .479 batting average with seven homes runs and had a 2.69 ERA in the circle.

"I like the size of UHV," said Wade. "It gives me the same small town feel as where I graduated. And, the coaching staff is very welcoming and encouraging. I feel like I will be right at home at UHV."

Wade plans to study biology at UHV where she hopes to pursue a career in forensic science.
