Lacy Straight

Lacy is from Millersburg High School and was nominated by Tracy Barcavage. Lacy overcame many challenges in high school including choosing the right friend group and making the right social choices, but more dramatically overcoming traumatic sports injuries. Lacy tore her ACL not once, but twice. She struggled mentally with the first tear, but was able to return to the field. However, her junior year she tore her other ACL which forced to hold off on plans to play in California and up and down the East Coast for the Summer. This was devastating to her. Lacy worked hard and returned to the field in four months from her second ACL tear. Through her recovery Lacy changed he friends group and her learned to stay out of drama. She now speaks to the underclassmen about making good choices, building a good reputation, the value of self-worth and the importance of good character.

Lacy plans on attending Millersville University to play softball and major in Sports Medicine.

Tracy says of Lacy, "I have been teaching now for nearly 20 years. It is a rare occasion to teach a high school student who has the character, integrity, and perseverance that I see every day in this young lady."

Congratulations & Good Luck, Lacy!
