Everett said she visited the Johnson City campus last fall.
“I really liked the town,” Everett said. “Everybody was really friendly. The campus is pretty, too.”
Everett was a first-team all-city selection each of the last two years. As a junior she was most valuable player of the Class AAA state final won by the No. 4 nationally ranked Lady Trojans (52-2). She batted .519 last season with 23 extra-base hits, 48 RBIs and 57 runs scored.
Heading into last weekend’s play when she hit her third home run this year, Everett was batting .429 with eight doubles and 16 RBIs.
