It was a special night at Cedar Ridge Media Center on January 28, where dozens of friends, family and coaches gathered to watch Kymberlie Thacker officially commit to Brevard College. Thacker was an All-Big 8 Conference selection last season as a catcher. She led Cedar Ridge with seven home runs as the Red Wolves won its first conference championship in softball. Last summer, Thacker played for the Weekend Warriors travel team. Cedar Ridge will start softball practice next week with a goal of repeating at Big 8 Conference Champions.
