At a time when her recruitment should have been picking up, Mauldin senior Gracie Boswell was sitting out — sidelined much of the club season during her junior year because of bouts of pneumonia and mononucleosis.
Then Presbyterian College came into the picture, and Boswell capitalized on the opportunity and signed with the Blue Hose.
“I wasn't sure if I was going to play,” the Mavericks' all-state forward said, “and then I realized I couldn't imagine my life without soccer.”
Boswell was one of six Mauldin seniors recognized during a ceremony at the school May 25.

Shai Carpenter, the Class AAAA state champion in the triple jump, signed with Clemson. He won with a leap of 49 feet, 4 inches, second-longest in the state this season.
“I think Clemson will be able to get me to the next level,” Carpenter said. “They'll actually make me stronger and help me to be my best.”
Twin brothers Isaiah and Isaac Phyall chose to continue competing in track and field at Mars Hill College.
“We were trying to compete against each other, but I think it might be a little easier working together,” Isaac Phyall said.
Isaac Phyall said his main event will be the 400-meter dash; Isaiah Phyall said he would be competing in the long and triple jumps and, more than likely, the hurdles.
Liz Mooney and Pablo Ortiz signed to swim for the College of Charleston.
“The school is amazing,” Mooney said. “The team is what really got me so excited about it. I've never met a team that's so close and that loves each other so much.”
“The city is beautiful; and when I went for a visit, I liked the people,” said Ortiz.
The school also announced that Mavericks' tennis player Wilson Mathewes has signed with the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
