Star Belton-Honea Path HS Baseball Champ Blake Holliday Dead Following ATV Crash

A popular two-sport athlete, who helped Belton-Honea Path High School win consecutive Class AAA baseball state championships in 2015 and 2016, died Tuesday afternoon. Blake Holliday, an outstanding two-sport athlete, was killed while operating an ATV. He was 19.

Holliday suffered critical injuries in an ATV accident on his family property late last week. He had been in critical condition at Greenville Memorial Hospital since.

Anderson County coroner Don McCown said the cause of death was head trauma.

Holliday was a pitcher on the back-to-back state championship seasons at Belton. He signed a baseball scholarship at Clemson and was a redshirt member of the team in the spring of 2017. He transferred to Erskine College in the fall. source
