ARCHBOLD – An athlete playing two sports at the next level isn’t something you see a lot of, especially in this day and age of athletes focusing on just one sport.
That is what Krayton Kern of Archbold will be doing after signing a letter of intent to be part of the football and baseball teams at Adrian College.
“I felt at home when I was on campus for a visit, and I really liked the coach. I was also very impressed with the facilities that they had”, said Kern, who currently is undecided on a major.
Kern was named all-league and all-district in football twice along with all-league in baseball and was All-Ohio in football and baseball.
Kern also earned accolades on the soccer pitch as he was 1st Team All-NWOAL three times, 1st Team All-District, 2nd Team All-Ohio and All-Great Lakes Region in addition to being a scholar athlete in all three sports.
“The most important lesson that I have learned throughout playing sports is that you can’t always control what happens, but you have to make sure to do all the things that you can control”, concluded Kern.
