Slaton is an incredibly talented young man. He’s worked hard since moving to Trigg County with his family where his dad is pastor of First Baptist, Cadiz. Not only do his grades and athleticism show that, but his dedication to Christ is evident in his young life. And, he’s my grandson.
Congrats Slaton
