Softball team plays first game after the death of teammate

HOLLIDAYSBURG -- Mikayla Focht's Hollidaysburg Area High School softball team played its first game Tuesday since her death and started things off with a moment of silence in her memory.

Focht died early Friday in an all-terrain-vehicle crash.

Twenty-three-year-old Trenton Bilak was driving the ATV when it struck a deer, police said.

Bilak is now in the Bedford County Jail after police determined that he was under the influence at the time of the crash, violating his bond from a DUI charge in December, an official said Tuesday.

Focht was an honor student at Hollidaysburg and a standout softball player and had committed to play for St. Francis University in the fall.
