LCHS Celebrates a Dual Signing to Kentucky Christian College!

Celebrating dual achievements for LCHS Seniors, Taylor Blevins and Braxton Davis, who have recently signed letters of intent with Kentucky Christian College to pursue their education and athletic careers! Taylor is signing on to continue her softball career, while Braxton will continue his baseball career at KCU! We are so excited for both of these students for working hard to make collegiate competition a reality and for serving as motivators for other LCHS students to aim high and believe in their dreams.

LCHS Athletic Director Mr. Thompson shared some words about this signing. "Congratulations to Taylor and Braxton, and their parents and families, it's a big deal and certainly something you should all be proud of! We are super excited and proud of both of you. And we are pulling for you every step of the way!"

LCHS Lady Bulldog's Softball Coach, Sam Sparks, shared some thoughts with Taylor and her family. "I have been involved with high school athletics for over 40 years. If you are fortunate, you may have seen one or two generational athletes during that time. And in 40 years, I have maybe seen a handful. And just when you think it's over, you cross paths with Kenny Horn, who leads you to cross paths with Taylor, who is a generational athlete for our program. We can sit here all day and talk about all the records she has obtained: 6 district titles, 2 sectional titles (2A), 2A state final, a state final four, and 102 career wins. All those statistics don't begin to tell you what kind of person she is or what kind of family she is from. So, for me personally and for our team, it has been special to watch her progress. I think this year, particularly in the fall, she has worked harder than she ever has. And it has certainly paid off for our team, and we're not finished yet. It is good to see her have the opportunity to continue her athletic career at KCU. I hope that will open up a pipeline for us, to send players there, because we have a bunch that can play. And for her to be one of the first ones to attend there, I think that is great. I think the end of the rainbow for KCU landed right on our softball field. I think they know what they are getting, but I don't know that they really do. She is a generational player in a great program. And she is going to do well. It is a credit to everyone who has supported her through Little League, travel ball, and whatever. And other than her parents and grandparents, I will certainly have to give Bo Davis a lot of credit, too. He has been the backbone. Again, congratulations to Taylor! She has set records for us that I hope someone breaks one of these days. It won't be in my lifetime. Not only that, she has been a terrific teammate. This opportunity is great for her, for our team, and for our program. Congratulations, Taylor!"

LCHS Baseball Coach, Travis Feltner, shared some remarks with Braxton and his family. "Congratulations to Braxton! He has been in our baseball program for the last 6 years. He has certainly left his mark. It is a huge day when you have a kid who can continue his career beyond high school. Because, as he will find out, you can't play forever. So, you take that opportunity when you get it. Martin, you and Nicole have done an amazing job. He is a great kid, and that will take him further in life more than anything else. To see him get an education, earn a degree so he can continue to play, and help pay for it is a huge honor for Braxton and our baseball program. We talk about a lot, what you put into it, is what you get out of it. He has put a lot into it, and today shows the fruits of his labor. I would like to say, Braxton, congratulations and thank you for what you have brought to our program for the last 6 years. I appreciate these (KCU) coaches coming and giving our kids the opportunity. I have been here a long time, and we have had a lot of great kids come through. But congratulations to Martin and Nicole, and to Braxton. I love ya."

We wish Taylor and Braxton the very best as they celebrate this amazing milestone toward their academic and athletic pursuits at Kentucky Christian University! Let's go, Knights! #LCisHome
