Red Bank High School senior Bailey Lyness recently accepted a scholarship offer to play basketball at Tennessee Wesleyan College.
Lyness, who also has played volleyball and softball for Red Bank, visited the Athens college early this school year.
“It’s a beautiful campus,” Lyness said. “It’s close to home, and I’m a big family person. I love how the team plays — fast-paced and shoot a lot of 3s. I really liked it.”
Lyness is averaging 17 points, 4.2 assists and 3.2 steals per game. Red Bank (12-7) leads District 6-AA at 7-1.
“They’re getting a great shooter and a great competitor,” Lady Lions coach Steve Redman said. “She’s a team player who will do whatever a coach asks her to do. Anything she can control, she gives it to you.”
