To say it has been a pretty good couple of days for Twin Cedars Athlete Rylee Dunkin would be rather accurate. On Friday, she was awarded one of two High School Heisman Scholarships in Iowa worth $1,000, and is now eligible for the $10,000 national award later in November. Also on Friday, she announced that she will be furthering her softball career at the University of Upper Iowa next spring. Dunkin has been the starting catcher for the Sabers Softball Squad, who won the class 1A State Championship this past summer. Dunkin was one of many hitters for the Sabers this summer with 35 hits and a .389 batting average and 33 stolen bases. Dunkin will return for her senior season at Twin Cedars this summer.
