“ After exploring my options Transy felt like the best fit for me. It helps that they play on one of the best fields it Kentucky. Transy also provides an education with amazing opportunities for me in the future.”
“ Lawrence County was truly a blessing for me. Not only did the baseball program make me a better player, but also taught me lessons for life. Coach Feltner along with all the coaches held our teams to a higher standard. I wouldn’t be the person I am today, if it weren’t for the coaches or the program.”
“ First none of this would be possible without God. Blessed me in more ways than I deserve. My parents and family for always believing in me, taking me to games, and always pushing me to be my best. My coaches and teammates for helping me improve no matter the conditions. And Jacob Fletcher for ways I can’t even describe.”
