Former McCreary Central Raider Lucas Waters was selected in the 14th-round of the MLB Draft by the Florida Marlins. Waters, who played three seasons at EKU and entered the draft after his junior season after leading the Colonels in batting percentage, said that he would only leave if he was selected in the first twenty rounds. Waters is already with the Florida Marlins A team, the Jamestown Jammers in New York. He will play third base and maybe center field. First McCreary player to play professional ball.

Kenny Washam had a short stint in pro ball in the early 1990's if I'm not mistaken...

 

But Lucas is a good kid that has earned everything he's gotten through hard work. There's another kid down there that could have similar, if not better, professional opportunities if he sticks with baseball. But sometimes basketball and football have a way of brainwashing kids...
