[Strikeout King]

When Ethan Atchley graduated from the University of Kentucky with a marketing degree in 2011, he had a job lined up with his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. He decided against taking it, however, so he could pursue his real passion: football.

Three years later, Atchley is the new head coach at Lexington Christian Academy.

Atchley, 24, was defensive backs coach at LCA in 2011 and defensive coordinator in 2012. He held that same coaching position last fall at Lafayette, where he's a business teacher.

"It's a blessing," he said of being the Eagles' head coach at such a young age.
