Ava Bearden 2026

I am super excited and grateful to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Rhodes College! I want to thank my family, coaches, and friends for helping me make this happen! Roll Lynx! @RhodesSoftball

So grateful for this last season & the last 4 with @howiemackz! This season held many great things which after reflection has all evolved because of so many people pouring into me. The most impactful over the years have been Coach Howie and Coach Billy! So thankful for you both
