Elliott County's Jonathan Ferguson to Give Up Basketball

There is an interesting article in the Lexington Herald Leader today about the future of Elliott County's Jonathan Ferguson. Ferguson, the fifth-leading scorer in KHSAA history with 3,377 points, has decided that he will not pursue a college basketball career.

"Nobody knew it, but I officially decided before this season that I didn't want to play college basketball," he said last week.

"I was just burned out and tired of it all."

Ferguson plans to attend Morehead State University as "a regular student" and study pre-pharmacy.

I have known about Ferguson's decision for some time now, but decided to wait for Jonathan to make it official. I wish the young man nothing but the best in his future, whether that includes basketball or not.
