Randy Salyers left a mark on the Grant County High School football team as a leader and an example of what happens when you work hard.

Now, Salyers will take his work ethic and desire to be his best to Pikeville College after signing to play for the Bears on May 27.

“It’s a great honor to be able to leave something for the younger kids who are coming to play for Grant County,” Salyers said. “I looked up to the other seniors when they got to play college ball and it’s an honor.”

A dedication to getting better helped Grant County junior Katelyn Roy and Williamstown junior Tori Wilhoit earn all-region honors.

Roy, who pitched and hit cleanup for the Lady Braves, and Wilhoit, who played shortstop and hit second for the Lady Demons, were both honored to be named to the all-region team for the first time.

“It’s a big privilege and I feel like I’ve earned it because I’ve worked so hard,” Roy said. “But I wouldn’t have made it this far without my teammates.”
