Abby Herb quietly signs with Mount Mercy

Sat - 29 Dec Written by Jim Ecker

She's excited about the next step in her life and looking forward to playing for the Mustangs, but she's kind of shy and wanted to sign quietly last month.

"I just wanted to sign the paper without a bunch of people there and get all nervous and my hand would be shaking," she said.
