Ethan battled through two life threatening back surgeries that has made him a stronger person in everyday life. Due to all of the hard work and physical therapy, Ethan was able to return to doing what he loves. Deer hunting, playing football, basketball and baseball was a majority of Ethan's time. He was able to come back just in time for football and with all his hard work and dedication, he was named to most explosive kick off return in the state. Ethan was very proud to see his accomplishment and it led him to due bigger and better things. He has been scouted by several colleges to play college football. Some of those colleges being, Eastern Kentucky University, Lindsey Wilson, Thomas More and Georgetown. The college that has got his attention is Eastern Kentucky because he recently got accepted into that college and now the football coach is coming to watch highlights from his football season. This had me a very proud sister. I was so glad that Ethan didn't let this injury affect his future. This has taught me a lot as a teenager, that no matter how tough things get that there is always a way to fix it although it may take time.
