Nathan Bader Signs with Georgetown College
Congratulations to Nathan Bader, who signed a letter of intent to play football at Georgetown College. Bader played soccer at CAL his freshman year before making the switch to football his sophomore year.
“We didn’t see this coming. Nathan has played every sport but never thought we’d be signing for football,” said Nathan’s father, Lawrence Bader. “Ever since he put his foot on a football field he’s played varsity and that makes me very proud.”
“I have been so impressed with Nathan’s work ethic and contribution to our team. There is a lot of pressure on the kicker. Fans are either really for you or really against you depending on how you perform,” said CAL head football Stefan LeFors. “I wish Nathan the best of luck and he will always have a home within the CAL football program.”
“After visiting several schools, I ultimately chose Georgetown because it’s a beautiful college where I know I will get a good education. Also, I will get to play football for four more years,” said Nathan.
Nathan concluded the signing ceremony by thanking his parents, teammates, and Coach LeFors. He plans to major in biology and is excited about being the punter for the Georgetown Tigers.
Megan Mintman Signs to Play Soccer at UAB
Congratulations to senior, Megan Mintman, who signed a letter of intent to play soccer for the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) on Wednesday.
Megan has played soccer since the age of three and was team captain her junior and senior years at CAL. She was also named Region 7 – 1st team (2012-2014), District Tournament team (2013), and All State – 2nd team (2014) among other awards. She has played for the club soccer team, KY Fire Juniors, for nine years.
KY Fire Juniors coach, Jaqueline Batuello, said, “I have been lucky to have coached Megan this past year and unlucky to have coached against her for four years,” (Batuello also coaches at Sacred Heart Academy). “Megan is not only very talented, but what stands out to me most is her work ethic and what a great teammate she is.”
CAL head girls’ soccer coach John Zutt, thanked the Mintmans for their support of the CAL soccer program.
“This is a special day for Megan. She epitomizes the model of a student athlete who uses the platform of athletics to honor and glorify God,” said Zutt.
Megan ultimately chose UAB because of their great academics and their talented soccer program.
“Coach Warren is a great coach and will help me improve in soccer and stay on track academically,” said Mintman.
Megan thanked her teammates and parents for their sacrifice and support. She is undecided in her major and looks forward to playing for the UAB Blazers next fall.
