Since the Lorenzen and Smith days there have been very, very few kids to play two sports at Highlands. As far as baseball, it has never been a big sport at Highlands(much bigger in Kenton Co than Campbell Co.). As far as Basketball, there have been some very good teams over the years with quit a few sweet sixteens (I believe one runner-up and a couple semi final appearances).Just off the top of my head, Have you not heard of Scott Draud? I think he won Mr KY basketball award in 85-86. He was not recruited by UK and went on to Vandy and was a star. He was NIT MVP and an excellent 3 pt shooter that UK let slip away. I remember he had a couple very good games agianst the cats. The years since Lorenzen have continued to have less two sports athletes on them and although they compete well in the region, have had a significant decline.The competition to start on the football team has caused players to give up other sports to weight lift and practice football year round. I do not follow baseball, so do not know what extent it has effected that,but do know that it has killed the track program(track use to fight for regional title every year).

I certainly have heard of Scott Draud, but I was thinking that he came from one of the Newport schools, or am I thinking of Ronny Dawn? Anyways, thanks for the info.

Has his grandfather been someone who has played an active part of his athletic career, and does he get to attend many of his football games? I'm thinking with him in DC for the last few years, probably not. He certainly possess the prototype body that MLB scouts look for in a power right hander. Anyways, interesting that with his heritage,his size, and strong arm that he is not intimidating the baseball world from the mound as well.

Do not follow baseball?? That's just downright un-American. :biggrin:
