Trion’s Riley Manscill Commits to Play Softball at Cleveland State

Recently, Trion High School senior Riley Manscill committed to continue her academic and athletic career with the Cleveland State Cougars in Cleveland, Tennessee. While competing on the softball field, Manscill also plans to pursue a degree in nursing, setting the stage for a bright future both on and off the diamond.

Manscill was scouted by Cleveland State coaches Steve Jaecks and Haley Carroll to play in the outfield for the Cougars. Cleveland State competes in NJCAA Division II athletics and is a two-year institution offering programs that range from nursing to emergency medical technician training and law enforcement studies.

Excited for the next chapter, Manscill shared:
“I am very grateful and excited to receive this opportunity to continue playing the sport I love! I want to thank everyone who has helped me become the athlete I am today. Go Cougars!”

She also expressed her enthusiasm about joining a campus that feels familiar: “The campus is small, kind of like Trion. I’m ready to challenge myself while also building relationships in that ‘hometown’ atmosphere.”

Congratulations to Riley on this outstanding achievement—we can’t wait to see all you accomplish in your future!
