  • Pelfrey signs with Eastern...

    Hard work and a drive to make it to the next level are what helped Grant County High School senior Dillon Pelfrey reach a goal in his life.

    Pelfrey signed to play baseball for Eastern Kentucky University on April 26.

    “This means a lot to me,” Pelfrey said. “This is something that I’ve thought about and worked for the past 18 years of my life. It means a lot to my family and I’m kind of overwhelmed.”

    Pelfrey, who pitches and plays shortstop for the Braves, will play in the infield for the Colonels.
