Misty Duran, center, signed a softball scholarship with Wallace State earlier this year.

Misty Doran, a senior at Northview High School did not garner much attention earlier this month on national signing day, mostly because the stand out softball player had already signed a softball scholarship with Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Ala. in mid-January.

The daughter of Jerry and Susan Doran has played softball for 13 years starting with tee ball. She played little league and travel ball where she won two World Series titles.

Doran has won two-straight district titles as a member of the Lady Chiefs. She has been on the varsity team since she was a seventh grader. Her primary position is pitcher, but she said she also enjoys playing shortstop.
