Mackenzie Mitchell of Rock Hill is Awarded Eastern New York’s Jack Bauman Scholarship 
New York Youth Soccer News: Mackenzie Mitchell Receives an Eastern New York Scholarship
The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) is very pleased to announce that Mackenzie Mitchell is receiving a Jack Bauman Scholarship, which is based on academic and athletic success as well as community service. The scholarship’s namesake, Jack Bauman, is considered the father of women’s soccer on Long Island. He was devoted to the Massapequa Soccer Club, Eastern New York and making sure that girls had as many opportunities to play soccer as boys did in an era when girls playing sports was not as accepted as it is today.
In the East Hudson Youth Soccer League (CDYSL), Mackenzie started playing for her hometown club, Liberty United, and started traveling more to play as her skills improved, competing with the Minisink Youth Soccer Club, Monroe-Woodbury Soccer Club and then Nirvana.
The Rock Hill resident carried a 92% average at Monticello High School. She volunteered with the Allison Whitney 5K Cancer Walk, Camp Panther, a Hurricane Sandy Collection, Monticello Fire Department, Special Olympics and the Sullivan County Residence.
Mackenzie will be studying and playing midfield at Alfred University this fall as well as racing on their Alpine ski team.
