Many athletes that spent their high school years in Fayette County have moved on to play for college or professional teams. Below are the athletes with recent results.

Tanner Bushue • Pitcher • Lexington Legends

•April 21 – Bushue, a South central graduate, lost his spot in the Lexington Legends' rotation after struggling in his first three starts of the season. During a 7-1 win against Kannapolis, Bushue pitched one inning in relief, striking out one and walking one. Through Tuesday, the Legends were 8-11.

When Greenville’s A.J. Childerson toed the rubber for last Wednesday’s game in Vandalia, the home team players and coaches knew it would be a challenge to get going offensively.

The Vandals never could get Childerson figured out during a 6-0 loss, but the fact that Greenville coaches respected the Vandals enough to throw their ace, even though Vandalia had lost five in a row, should tell Vandals players something about their talent.

Kyle Graumenz, a senior at Triad High School, has signed a National Letter of Intent to wrestle for Neosho County Community College in Chaunte, Kan.

The grandson of Devon and Patty Graumenz of Shobonier placed fourth at 138 pounds in the Class 2A individual state tournament this past February. He was the state runner-up as a sophomore in the 119-pound bracket.

He qualified for the Illinois High School Association state tournament all four years of his high school career.
