Local Sports Round up 01/19/15; Timpson's Kaylie Bush signs with Galveston College, Riders take thrilling last second win over Carthage to open district, Shelbyville ends Tenaha's streak

In Sports,

 

Timpson's Kaylie Bush signed to play with Galveston College Friday. On hand were friends, teammates and family members, including (standing, left) Kaylie's mother, Carla Bush, father, Kyle Bush, grandmother, Imogene Ramsey, twin brother, Keaton Bush and grandmother, Nancy Bush.

 

Timpson Lady Bear Kaylie Bush is headed to Galveston after graduation to further her education after signing to play softball for the Galveston College Whitecaps in a ceremony last Friday at Timpson High School.

 

With family, friends and teammates on hand, the power hitter will play two years at the junior college by the sea.

 

Fresh off a recent tryout for the USA Jr. Olympic Softball Team in California, Kaylie said she was very excited for the opportunity and was looking forward to contributing.

 

Last season Kaylie was named all-district offensive player of the year, and led all Texas 2A softball players with 13 home runs. She has 25 round-trippers in her high school career.

 

Defensively, she was all-district first team catcher the past two seasons.

 

Galveston College assistant coach Lindsay Fallen told Center Broadcasting they were equally excited to have Kaylie on-board.

 

Lady Bear Head Softball Coach Jerrod Campbell said he was looking forward to the season, although it was Kaylie’s last in the black and gold, he said he was extremely proud for her and her family.

 

She also plays on the Nacogdoches traveling tournament team, Nitro and will be heading to Italy in the summer to represent the USA.

 

Kaylie is the daughter of Kyle and Carla Bush, and as expected, were very proud of their daughter’s signing, knowing she’s put in a lot of hard work for it.
