GAYLESVILLE – Gaylesville softball player Sierra Holbrook signed a scholarship with Oakwood University in Huntsville on Thursday in the school library.

Holbrook has 11 career home runs. She batted .425 her sophomore year and .490 last season as a junior. She’s been a leadoff hitter and started since her freshman year.

Holbrook said she’s excited to continue her softball career in college.

“I knew when I first stepped on a field that it was something I wanted to continue for a long time,” she said. “I’m glad I’m able to hopefully inspire my younger teammates.

“When I visited Oakwood I loved the atmosphere. The people were extremely nice and welcoming. Being close to home is a plus also.”

Holbrook said the Ambassadors plan on playing her at middle infield, second base or shortstop.
