Brains, philanthropy and leadership make for a spectacularly well-rounded soccer player in Jewells Escamilla.

The Vista Ridge High School senior plays on the Lady Ranger soccer team. Jewellโ€™s radiant force on the field complements just how bright she is academically. The National Hispanic Scholar serves as the senior class representative for VRHS Student Council. As a member of the business and marketing organization DECA and the National Honor Society, Jewells shows agility beyond her field of play. 

โ€œNot only does she excel in the classroom, but she is an amazingly talented soccer player who is an integral part of the Lady Ranger Soccer program,โ€ head soccer coach Shad Green said. โ€œJewells has a positive impact on her friends and teammates; she is going to be one of those people who is going to have a major impact on the world.โ€

All head all heart, Jewells flashes a tender side through her volunteerism. She does work with the pet adoption group Texas Human Heroes and the non-profit Music Eunitedโ€“a free music program for children in need.

For being a true reflection of excellence, Jewells Escamilla sparkles as our Student-Athlete of the Week!
