REBEKAH BAYLE<\/p><\/div>\n

BY HEIDI ZENEFSKI<\/strong>
\n Sports Correspondent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ten years ago, Blue Ridge\u2019s Rebekah Bayle started playing softball. Now she is a high school senior playing for the Lady Raiders.<\/p>\n

Bayle is the Independent\u2019s Student Athlete of the Week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started playing softball after my family moved up here. I was previously in gymnastics, but after moving up here my parents were looking for something that was closer to home. They came up with Little League softball.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI like how competitive it gets on the field,\u201d Bayle said. \u201cI also like how it’s so much a team sport -defense, then you turn around, offense, and it’s an individual sport as well. I like pretty much everything!\u201d<\/p>\n

But the weather is not cooperating with the sport this season. \u201cSo far we have been stuck in the gym, that’s definitely not where we want to be at this point in the season.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Bayle has been a part of some of Blue Ridge\u2019s success on the field during her time on the team. \u201cMy freshmen year we made it to District Finals. We came up short, but I’m hoping we can make it there this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Off the field she keeps busy in and out of school. She is the senior class secretary, as well as the Leo Club secretary. Bayle is also the captain of the school\u2019s Envirothon team and hoping to make it to the state competition for the third time. She is also active at the Jackson Baptist Church.<\/p>\n

In addition to softball, Bayle was also a member of the Lady Raider volleyball team that captured the Class A title in the fall.<\/p>\n

Her efforts have paid off with recognition for her achievements. She was the Student of the Month in September 2013. She was named as an MVP of the volleyball squad; and has earned team Spirit Awards for both volleyball and softball.<\/p>\n

Bayle is also making memories by traveling as well. \u201cThis past September I had the opportunity to visit Bolivia and Argentina. It was so amazing and life changing. I am hoping one day I can go back.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduation she plans to attend Cedarville University and will major in environmental science. She is the daughter of Duane and Kristy Bayle of Jackson Township.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
