HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) \u2013 As well-rounded a student-athlete as they come, Eastern Mennonite\u2019s Halie Mast plays basketball, soccer and runs cross country.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\u201cMy family is all super competitive and has played sports,\u201d Mast said. \u201cMy dad played soccer in college and my mom played basketball in college, so it just sort of ran in the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loves to compete,\u201d Andrew Gascho, Eastern Mennonite School\u2019s athletic director and girls soccer coach, said. \u201cShe has such a humble attitude, but such a fire inside of her to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mast displays a spirit that\u2019s contagious amongst her peers.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe leads by example and leads through her positive talk,\u201d Gascho said. \u201cI think that\u2019s what makes her teammates gravitate towards her.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just in the classroom or out on the field, Halie\u2019s making a difference in the community, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been really cool to see that I can have an impact on the community because the school and the people around me have done so much for me to get where I am now,\u201d Mast said.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s in the National Honor\u2019s Society and an active leader in the \u201cWe Serve Club\u201d and was one of the main organizers in a food drive benefitting Washington D.C. food banks. Halie has helped to clean up community roads and is a part of \u201cKids Club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been really cool, especially my senior year, to give back a little bit and say thank you for all that they\u2019ve done for me,\u201d Mast said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe obviously has a high drive for all kinds of things, and that includes her schoolwork,\u201d said Curt Stutzman, a teacher at Eastern Mennonite School. \u201cShe does well in absolutely everything. I think she goes over and above sometimes what she needs to do. She\u2019s doing it because she wants to, not because she has to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mast portrays all the qualities that make her incredibly valuable to the school, and especially her soccer team as she approaches her final season.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s just doing a great job of being present everyday and being that positive spirit,\u201d Gascho said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful for every practice, every game and just being out on the field with friends,\u201d Mast said.<\/p>\n

Halie will be attending Eastern Mennonite University in the fall, playing soccer and pursuing a degree in nursing.<\/p>\n
