The Virginia teen who was seen bashing an opponent’s head with a baton during a high school track meet held a rally of supporters on Thursday to reiterate her innocence. The rally came just one day after she was served with a misdemeanor battery and assault charge.

A Virginia high school athlete has been charged with assault and battery following a baton incident that resulted in another competitor suffering a concussion at a recent track meet. Lynchburg Commonwealth's Attorney Bethany Harrison announced that I.C. Norcom High School senior Alaila Everett has been charged Wednesday.
