WAKR Student Athletes of the Week Caden Scarbrough and Payton Fraley

Our 1590 WAKR Male Student Athlete of the Week is Caden Scarbrough , a junior golfer from CVCA.

He says he got into the sport of golf at an early age.

“My Dad is really big into golf, so he’s just been with me pretty much my whole life, just being involved in golf, so my dad got me hooked on golf,” he said.

Caden said that the family atmosphere at CVCA has helped him both on and off the golf course, enriching his experience as both an athlete and a student.

“The teachers here are nice and are there to help you any way they can,” he said.

His head coach says that he is one of those kids that makes others around him better.

"Caden is extremely committed in making his teammates better in all areas of their lives, says coach Jon Bucciarelli.

Scarbrough says that he models his game after PGA golfer Justin Thomas, who may be smaller in stature, like he is, but can drive the ball a good distance.

“He’s really awesome to watch,” Scarbrough said with a smile.

Head Golf Coach Jon Bucciarelli says that Caden is a student athlete in every aspect of the term.

"Caden is truly the leader of our golf team in every aspect," he says. "His work ethic, integrity, and spiritual discipline resonates with his fellow teammates and opponents."

Our next Female Student Athlete of the Week is junior Payton Fraley a soccer player from CVCA High School.

She says working with her coaches and teammates is something she truly enjoys.

“Its just amazing environment,” she explained. “We strive to be better every single day,” she said.

Payton points to a leadership class she’s currently taking at CVCA this fall that is giving her the tools she needs to lead on the pitch.

“You have to represent yourself and you don’t always have to be vocal, you can do it through your actions and how you love others,” she said.

Head Coach Courtney Wagner had this to say about the junior;

"Payton is wonderful kid and a tremendous teammate. She brings lots of joy and energy to the team," she explained.

"She represents the Royals very well and we are excited to see her continue to grow."

Payton says she got the love of the game of soccer from her older brothers, who also played the sport.

“I was always hanging out with them and I always wanted to play.”

Outside of her leadership class, Fraley’s favorite subject is math.

We wish Caden and Payton the best in all of their future endeavors.

Student Athletes of the Week Christian Beckett & Kally Ashton

Our 1590 WAKR Male Student Athlete of the Week is Christian Beckett a senior lacrosse player from CVCA High School.

Christian says he got into lacrosse in his younger years and loves the physical aspect of the sport.

“One of my hockey coaches in third grade introduced me to it, and a bunch of my buddies started doing it," he said.

"I started playing in fourth grade and have stuck with it ever since."

Beckett, a three sport athlete in lacrosse, hockey, and golf also is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is active in the community by helping with his church.

His coach Rob Atwood talked about his leadership on and off the field.

“Christian is a great young man from a great family. He is a really good athlete and an even better person,” he said.

“He leads by example, plays hard, and is always dependable.”

Upon graduation in the spring, Beckett plans on studying Business/Sales and Marketing at Dallas Baptist University, where he will play hockey at the collegiate level.

Our next Female Student Athlete of the Week is Kally Ashton, a senior softball player from CVCA High School.

She says her love and appreciation for athletics, especially softball came from her family growing up.

"I started out on my brother's baseball team when I was in second grade and hated it," she said with a laugh.

“I played softball in fifth grade and just fell in love with it ever since," she said.

As a captain on the softball team, she says she leads more by example and says the younger players see how she works and tailor that to their game.

Her coach Jeff Johnson talked about her work on and off the field.

“Kally has become an amazing softball player. She is our centerfielder but could play anywhere you need her. She is batting over 500 this season, set a school record for doubles last year and has not struck out over the past year and a half,” he said.

“She is very coachable and just fun to be around. She is a great teammate and is more of a quiet leader. She leads by example and by how she carries herself.”

Ashton is a two sport athlete in both golf and softball. In addition to that, she is a member of the Birdclub.

She says her favorite bird is the Blue Jay, in part to her family being from Canada.

In the community, she enjoys working with her church and tutoring.

Upon graduation in the spring, Kally plans on studying Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati.

We wish Christian and Kally the best in all of their future endeavors.
