Covenant Christian senior Aubrey Schimmel provides an outstanding blend of speed and power atop the batting order, along with defensive skills behind the plate. (Karen Waite | Advance Newspapers) By John Raffel | Advance Newspapers  on May 03, 2018 7:16 AM GRAND RAPIDS -- Covenant Christian softball coach Travis Van Bemmel has been impressed with the performance of his two senior second-year varsity players, Aubrey Schimmel and Brianna Meulenberg, and for good reason. Schimmel is the team’s primary catcher. “Aubrey bats lead off for us and hits with a lot of power,” Van Bemmel said. “She is the fastest player on the team, and has a rocket for an arm. Her slugging percentage is .571. She has two doubles and six triples so far this season, as well as eight stolen bases.” In the Holland Tournament recently, Schimmel was 2-for-2 at the plate, including a bases-loaded triple to help the Chargers top Grand Haven. “Aubrey was injured in the early part of the season in 2017, and it was a long process to come back,” Van Bemmel said. “She is taking advantage of every opportunity this year.  “Aubrey is a player that I would dare to put anywhere on the field, and I am confident that she would be successful. Aubrey was also a starter on the basketball team this year. Softball is the sport that she most looks forward to.” Van Bemmel calls Meulenberg our "everything player. Brianna primarily plays second base and pitcher, but has also played first base and third base this year.” Meulenberg bats No. 3 in Covenant Christian’s lineup, with a .346 batting average, five doubles, and nine RBI.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ...
