4 Years ago Chris Lofton was just a house hold word in a small Kentucky town.

Only about 8,000 homes knew his name then. He has now grown to be a household word in hundreds of thousands if not millions of homes.

Chris has grown to be a true example of determination for kids in Mason County.

Maysville has been the start for a few athletes that have went pro and Chris appears to be the next in line.

Maysville is the home to a few sports related success stories.
Dustin Grutza Playing College Football.

Mark Blakefield had an amazing Golf Experience in Collage at UK and has gone on this year to start a his career in Professional Golf.

Tina Rigdon Hester has an excellent professional career in the fitness world and as well as a fitness model. Tina has made it to world wide recognition in the sports world.

Anyone know of any other sports success stories from Mason County?

Jay Gast shot a bunch of shots from outside the 3-point line before there was a three point line. That number (2200) would have been a lot higher than that these days.
