DAPHNE, Ala. — Bayside Academy senior and student athlete Lauren Chastang signed a letter of intent Nov. 9 to play volleyball for Kennesaw State University in Georgia.

“Lauren personifies hard work and is a model player,” said Bayside volleyball coach Ann Schilling. “I wish I could clone her. The team and I will miss her tremendously next year.”

For the past six seasons, Chastang has served as an accomplished outside hitter on Bayside’s Lady Admirals volleyball team. In October, she was instrumental in helping spirit the Lady Admirals to their 15th consecutive state championship victory in the 2016 Class 3A Alabama High School Athletic Association Elite Eight Tournament in Birmingham. Chastang earned two AHSAA Most Valuable Player awards during her six seasons as a Bayside starter. She also plays varsity basketball and softball for the Lady Admirals.

Kennesaw State University is a public, coeducational research university located in Kennesaw, Georgia, about 20 miles northwest of Atlanta. Bayside Academy is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory day school for students in grades PK-12.
