GLASGOW — Megan Thomas is a multi-faceted softball player, so said Lindsey Wilson College head coach Ashley McCool.

“She’s just an all-around great kid. I mean, she can play a lot of positions,” McCool said. “She's going to be one of those ones you can ask to do anything and she’ll do it. I love those types of kids.”

Thomas signed her intent to play softball next year at Lindsey Wilson during a ceremony inside the Barren County High School library. Thomas, a senior, is a starter for the (record) Trojanette team.

She said her motivation for signing with LWC was the proximity to home with the school being 45 miles away in Columbia.

“It’s close to home and has a very good softball facility and program,” Thomas said. “I think that was something I wanted to be a part of.”

She said she’s tried to improve on her fielding and hitting in getting ready to try to play college softball. She also said her willingness to play anywhere on the field should help her.

“I’ll play any position. I’ll do whatever they ask me to,” she added.

“We’ve got some outfield positions that are open and some infield ones, so if you can play multiple positions, you’ve got a better chance of playing,” McCool said.

The Lindsey softball coach also said Thomas’ academic standing is a benefit. “My job is to first get these girls in the classroom and do a good job and then win ball games.”

Couldn't give it up...

Although a standout basketball and softball player, Ray thought it was time for her athletic career to come to a close so she could focus solely on academics in college. But in the end, she said she couldn’t imagine walking away from softball.
