Mackenzie Bacha

I’m beyond excited to announce that I have verbally committed to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Louisville. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to play D1 college Softball and I’m so thankful for this opportunity. First, I would like to say thank you to God. This would not be possible without Him. Thank you to every coach who has made an impact in my life. Thank you to all of my friends and teammates for their amazing support throughout this process. Thank you Coach Holly, Griff, Brian, and DeeDee for becoming my new family. Most importantly, I would like to thank my family for their immense support. On to the next chapter…L’s UP!! @BanditsTrackMer @UofL_CoachHolly @GriffJ_13 @sabbyBsabs @dee11davis
