Campbellsville HS' Ethan Lay senior to play baseball at LWC Ethan Lay isn't the only CHS baseball player to trade his purple uniform for a blue one. Wyatt Houk will also play baseball at Lindsey Wilson College in the fall.' Click on headline for complete feature length story with photo(s) By Calen McKinney, Public Information Officer Campbellsville High School senior baseball player Ethan Lay will continue his academic and playing career at Lindsey Wilson College. Lay recently signed his letter of intent in a special ceremony with friends, family members, coaches and teammates. CHS Principal David Petett said he is proud of Lay and the baseball program. He said Lay is a great role model for his fellow athletes. This year alone, Petett said, Lay helped the soccer team win the All "A" region title and he became the second all-time goal scorer in school history. Lay also helped the basketball team sweep Taylor County and earn a return trip to the 5th region tournament. "He guarded some of the hardest players, and never backed away," Petett said. Lay was a kicker for the football team, and helped CHS become Class A Region 1 champions, for the first time since 1998. And, Lay and his fellow CHS baseball players won this year's 20th District tournament and will make a return trip to the 5th region tournament next week. Lay isn't the only CHS baseball player to trade his purple uniform for a blue one. Wyatt Houk will also play baseball at LWC in the fall. "I'm excited for where we're heading," Petett said. "Above all, I'm excited to see two young men who have come through our halls extend their careers, and, most importantly, get a college education." Petett said he is proud of the man Lay has become. "We're proud of the raisings that you've had and we're just honored and excited for this day." Blake Milby, CHS baseball head coach, said Lay is a very selfless player and person. He said Lay, who has always played in the infield, was recently asked to play in the outfield. "He said, 'Whatever the team needs.'" Milby said Lay is a true leader. "Just the picture of what you want," he said. "He's a good person to model your game after." CHS Athletic Director Tim Davis, who also coaches boys' basketball, said it's a pleasure to be around Lay. "We gave him the toughest assignment, just about every night," Davis said. "He guarded some of the best players in the region. One of the best guys in the nation. And didn't back away." Davis said younger players can learn from Lay's determination and work ethic. "And build on that so, when you graduate, you have a chance to do what he's doing," Davis said. Lynn Kearney, an assistant CHS baseball coach, said he has known Lay for a very long time, from middle school and even younger leagues. "He's so much fun to be around," Kearney said. "He always gives you everything he's got." Kearney said Lay came back from a basketball injury, when a lot of players would have quit. "I just really appreciate your attitude, and I look forward to the success you're going to keep on having." CHS baseball assistant coach Zach Lewis said Lay has continued to improve his game over the past four years. "I look forward to see what you and Wyatt can do in the next four years, too," he said. "Proud of you." Campbellsville Independent Schools Superintendent Kirby Smith, former CHS baseball head coach, said he can't be prouder of Lay. "I love Ethan like a son," he said. "Just proud of you Ethan." Smith said Lay is a student athlete, and always puts his academics first. "I don't think any coach has ever had to worry about Ethan and his grades. Ever." Smith said. "That means a lot." Smith said Lay's decision to put academics first will ensure he is a success at the college level. Lay and Houk have left their mark at CHS, Smith said. "We talk about leaving a legacy. Guys, pay attention to what these guys have done with the program. And try to follow that." Lay said he appreciates all of his supporters, along with his coaches, Petett, Smith, his teammates and his mother, Ashley Lay. "I wouldn't be able to do this without her," he said. Lay will major in education at LWC, and said he hopes to become a middle school teacher and coach. He said he chose to attend LWC because he was offered a baseball scholarship, and wants to stay close to home. This story was posted on 2018-06-03 14:57:04
