Senior Chris Mooney signed a football scholarship with Kentucky Christian University at a signing ceremony held at Paducah Tilghman High School on May 2.
Mooney, a defensive back, played five years of football at Paducah Tilghman and was on the varsity team for three years.
“Chris has always been a hard worker since day one when I got here so I’m not surprised for him to have this opportunity,” said PT Football Head Coach Sean Thompson. “ We talk to the guys about opportunity all the time and he’s taken advantage of one right here that’s been put in front of him. I know he’ll go do well and represent us well. So I’m happy that he’s got this opportunity.”
In his remarks Mooney thanked his family, his coaches, and his teammates for pushing him and helping him make it to the next level.
