Three signings to fish with Campbellsville!!

On March 13th, Coleman and Keenan Stewart signed with Campbellsville University for bass fishing. Despite being a small school, Campbellsville is well-known within the realm of bass fishing. Tony Miracle, the Coach of the team, brought many anglers with him to meet the two outstanding fishermen they would fish along for the next few years.

These two have excelled in both the classroom, the water, the diamond, and one on the football field. Coleman Stewart is a great student and he is also a key baseball player on the field. Keenan Stewart is a tri-sport athlete as he does fishing and is a key player on the diamond and football field. 

Both of them transferred to Boyle in sixth grade and were looped into fishing. After some time on the water, both of them fell in love with it and soon started to focus on it throughout the next few years. Each of them takes every opportunity they have to go out on the water whether it is for a full day or just a few hours.

Congratulations to both Coleman and Keenan Stewart as they take on collegiate fishing!

Coleman and Keenan were not the only ones to sign that day. Right after their signing, Brayson Claunch, another notable fisherman for the Boyle fishing team, also signed with Campbellsville.

Claunch came to Boyle his eighth grade year from Mercer County. He was an instant stand-out in the high school fishing community as he was not afraid talk to anyone. He was able to gather information from his peers and had a lot of practice, becoming one of the top fishermen on the Boyle team.

Congratulations to Brayson Claunch as he continues his fishing career into college!

Good luck to each of these fishermen as they go on to Campbellsville to keep going with their fishing careers, and will become key parts to that team of anglers.

Avery Bodner signs to Thomas More!

Last week on Friday afternoon, senior running back and defensive back Avery Bodner signed to Thomas More University to continue his football career at the collegiate level.

Bodner has played football since his elementary school days at Perryville, and it is a very exciting experience for the coaches that have watched him play for many years to see him secure his future in football at the next level. 

Coach Travis Leffew who has followed Bodner for much of his Boyle County football career says that Bodner is “one of the best to ever play the game of football here.”

To celebrate the milestone, Avery was surrounded by family, friends, and teammates as he signed his commitment to the team for the next four years. Not only did Bodner get to celebrate his signing surrounded by support, but that Friday, March 22nd, also marked Bodner’s 19th birthday. A great start to a great year for the Rebels football star!

Bodner closed out his signing with a goodbye to the Rebels football team saying, “This place will always be my home no matter where I go and I appreciate every single one of you.”

Best of luck to Bodner on his ongoing academic and athletic journey at Thomas More! Go Saints!

Booker Signs with Union Commonwealth University

On Monday afternoon,  third baseman and designated hitter Braylon Booker signed with Union Commonwealth University to continue his baseball and academic career at the collegiate level.

Booker stated that he chose Union because, “I love the athletics. Coach Hensley, they have a great coaching staff down there… and the academic side, as well.”

With great plans for the future, Booker still keeps the present future in mind. “We wanna win that region title. Bring it home,” exclaimed Booker on his goals for his senior season.

Cameron Owens signs with the Wildcats!

 

This past Wednesday, Cameron Owens signed with the Kentucky Wildcats to play baseball in college. Owens has played for Boyle since he moved from Mercer County in 8th grade.

 

His freshman year he pitched 8 games, 19.2 innings, and averaged 0.71 ERA per game. He had a substantial batting average increase from his freshman and sophomore year to his junior year which was 0.481.

 

In an interview with a BRNNews reporter and baseball teammate, Colin Wise, he was spoken of highly as a leader of the team and Owens said, as far as his love for baseball goes, “I like being able to be a part of the team and helping lead it to success”.

Cameron is an all-around active participant in the school. He is also an angler on the Boyle County Bass Fishing team and he and his teammate compete at a high level.

We can’t wait to watch Owens in his career as a Wildcat!
