Tuskegee University signs Prattville H.S. Bria Young

Bria Young, a four-year letter man on the Prattville High School softball team, inked a letter of in tent Tuesday afternoon in the high school's media center to attend Tuskegee University. Young will play for the Tigers' softball program headed by coach Tarsah Askew. The Golden Tigers ended the 2010 season with an 18-14 record and will be competing in the SIAC tournament this week end in Columbus, Ga.

Young earned two letters with the Prattville junior varsity and for the past two seasons she had played in the outfield for the varsity Lions. Not only is Young a versatile softball player, she is a well-rounded student, and quite popular. She was named the homecoming queen as well as the 2010 Prom Queen. "Bria is a very coachable young lady. She is very smart, an excellent student and a very good kid. She played centerfield for us, and had some clutch hits over the season. "Tuskegee is getting a very good player. Bria will earn early playing time next year at Tuskegee. More than an athlete, Tuskegee is getting an excellent student," head coach Sabrina Tutchtone said.
