PTHS senior Jack Butts signed a golf scholarship with Centre College at a signing ceremony held at Paducah Tilghman High School on March 15.
Butts began his senior season with a pair of first place finishes on the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour before the high school season began and continued his success with making it to the state tournament.
“Jack is just a hard worker,” PTHS head coach Brett Larimer said. “One thing we’ve always said is school comes first. It’s student-athlete, not athlete-student and Jack took that to heart. He’s a fantastic student and Centre College is really going to get and excellent player, an excellent student, but better than that — a fine young man.”
