Chayton Thacker, a linebacker for Lone Oak's Class 4A state runner-up squad, heads the list of five area players selected for the West team in the Best of the Bluegrass all-star game at Western Kentucky University's Smith Stadium on June 18.
Two players from Class 2A power Murray, offensive lineman Lonnie Martin and running back-linebacker Brandon Wicks, made the team, as did defensive back Tra Tharp of Heath and Calloway County offensive lineman Grant Williams. Wicks, Tharp and Williams are Murray State signees.
Notable by their absence were Mayfield receiver Xavier Shelton and Calloway linebacker-running back Tyrrell Willis.
The West team is coached by Fort Campbell's Shawn Berner and Owensboro's Joe Prince, a former Mayfield star.
Each player is likely to be selected for the all-Western Kentucky Conference squad in the annual all-star matchup with the best players from southern Illinois — that game will be played on June 11.

And yet Thacker didn't make even honorable mention on the AP all-state team. Hmmm.
