Kettler Signs Baseball Scholarship with Mid-Continent University |
|
Paducah Tilghman senior Blake Kettler signed a baseball scholarship with Mid-Continent University at PTHS on May 7.
Kettler has been a member of the Tilghman varsity baseball team for five years, and has been a starter for four years. He is primarily a catcher, but has also pitched, played infield, and played outfield.
"Blake is a hard worker and he has become a good defensive catcher," said PTHS head baseball coach Mickey Holland. "We are glad he will have this opportunity at MCU to develop his skills and continue his education."
Mid-Continent University, located near Mayfield, Kentucky, is a member of the Transouth Athletic Conference, the NAIA, and NCCAA. This year the Cougars tied the program record for wins in a single season and advanced to the NCCAA Mid-East Region title game.
"Blake is a catcher with a lot of upside," said Mid-Continent head baseball coach Shawn Yarbrough. "We believe in the right system he can polish off his offensive skills, and that will pay off in playing time. Hopefully, his hard work will pay dividends down the road."

Washington Signs With Kentucky Christian University |
|
Paducah Tilghman senior K.J. Washington signed a football scholarship with Kentucky Christian University at PTHS on May 11.
Washington started 13 games for the Tornado at tight end and defensive end in 2011. He had 17 pass receptions for 278 yards and 3 touchdowns on offense, and 9 solo tackles and 14 assists on defense. He was a member of the 2009 state championship team.
"The number one thing that stands out about K.J. is his character. He's a fine young man that will represent the school well," said PTHS head coach Randy Wyatt. "He has all the intangibles that that it takes to be a successful individual."
Kentucky Christian University, located in Grayson, Kentucky, is a member of the NAIA. Washington says that the coaching staff intends to look at using him as a wide receiver and defensive back because of his height, size, and speed.
Washington said he’s looking forward to the switch and the chance to play at the next level.
“When I visited, I liked everything about the school,” Washington said. “I think I can be successful there.”
