Like so many Kentucky high school athletes, Josh Teater of Henry Clay High School of Lexington grew up in the 1980s and 90s (Born in 79) wanting to play sports for his hometown UK Wildcats.
He was an outstanding baseball player and golfer but wasn’t offered a scholarship to join the Big Blue.
“Kentucky was mostly recruiting high-profile high school golfers with a national resume and I only played tournaments throughout Kentucky,” said Teater in a recent phone interview.
But just-down-the-road Morehead State thought he was good enough to play for the Eagles, so they signed him up and he turned out to be good enough to help the Eagles win the 1999 Ohio Valley Conference golf championship and is now a member of the Morehead State athletic Hall of Fame.
