MANSFIELD- After a brilliant high school career that included three state championships and an athletic scholarship to play next season at Henderson State University, Mansfield’s Natalie Allison will play as a member of the West team roster in Friday night’s Arkansas High School All-Star Volleyball Game. The game will be held at Farris Center on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas. Game time is 6 p.m. The All-Star Volleyball Game is one of several events sponsored by the Arkansas Activities Association.
Allison started for the Lady Tigers her sophomore season. In a previous story in RNN Sports, she, according to her coach, Kaylie Pyles, “immediately became a key role starter in all three state championships in 2020, 2021, and 2022. She is a strong competitor who has a hard work ethic and always strives to be the best she can be no matter what it takes. Natalie earned the well-deserved recognition of being named the 2021 Most Valuable Player of the volleyball state tournament as a junior, where she contributed statistics as a setter, hitter, server, and defensively. As a senior, she was the captain of the team and led the team in kills. She is a tremendous multi-sport athlete who succeeds in all she does and also maintains her grades in the classroom.”
Friday’s All-Star game will be the final high school game of Natalie’s high school career, and on behalf of everyone at RNN Sports, congratulations on an outstanding career, and best of luck in Friday’s game! Thank you for representing Mansfield High School and the entire community so well, and we wish you the best of success starting this fall at Henderson State!
