Greg Buckner goes from underappreciated to KHSAA Hall of Fame
BY MIKE FIELDS (Jan. 29, 2020)
Who is the most underappreciated Kentucky high school basketball star of the last 30 years?
I’d go with a guy who as a sophomore helped his team win a state title, and as a senior averaged 21 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and got back to the Sweet Sixteen; who went on to start 122 consecutive college games for a Power Five conference school; and who played in the NBA for 10 years and served as an assistant coach for two NBA teams.
I’d go with Greg Buckner.
Buckner didn’t get the recognition he deserved from his home-state fans when he was in high school (or thereafter) because he played at University Heights Academy.
But he’s getting his just dues now. Buckner will be inducted into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame this spring.
To say he appreciates the honor would be an understatement.
“It’s unbelievable,” he said in a […]

Hall of Famer Mary Custard-Austin: “If you tell me ‘no,’ I’m going after it even harder”
BY MIKE FIELDS (April 19, 2019)
Mary Custard-Austin was an incredible athlete at Harrison County High School — a 2,000-point scorer in basketball and a five-time state champion in track – who readily admits she was “blessed with natural talent” that allowed her “to go out and do things that other people struggled to do.
“I was humbled I had that gift,” she added.
But talent alone is like a Ferrari without fuel: it won’t get you where you want to go.
Custard-Austin’s accomplishments were also the result of a remarkable work ethic that her mom helped instill in her: “She kept telling me, ‘There’s always someone out there bigger and badder, so you can’t take a break.’”
When Custard-Austin is inducted into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame on April 27 in Lexington, she’ll acknowledge that it not only took natural talent and hard work to achieve success in sports and in life, but also […]
Eric Shelton says KHSAA Hall of Fame honor was a team effort
BY MIKE FIELDS (April 2, 2019)
When Eric Shelton looks back on his high school days at Bryan Station, he doesn’t focus on football, or the touchdowns he scored, the headlines he earned, the victories he celebrated, the awards he received.
“What I remember most was just living life without a care in the world, and appreciating my friends and my fellowship with them,” he said by phone from his home in Charlotte, N.C.
When Shelton is inducted into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame later this month, he will credit those friends for helping him earn this honor.
“I really wouldn’t be here, I don’t even know how far I would’ve made it out of high school, if it wasn’t for my teammates, my friends,” he said. “Granted, I had God-given ability to run fast, to be strong and to jump high, but we had a great team, including great players and great coaches. They […]
Hall of Famer Kandi Brown-Parker recalls her sweetest Sweet Sixteen
BY MIKE FIELDS (March 12, 2019)
There have been a lot of sweet moments in the history of the KHSAA Girls’ Sweet Sixteen, but the sweetest of all may have been the one shared by a coach and his daughter in the glow of a championship almost 20 years ago.
During a timeout in the closing seconds of West Carter’s 58-50 victory over Shelby County in the 2000 state finals, Lady Comets Coach John “Hop” Brown wrapped his arms around his daughter Kandi, who had just hit a clinching free throw in front of 6,500 fans in EKU’s McBrayer Arena.
“I can still remember so vividly that embrace he and I had,” Kandi Brown-Parker said this week. “That was probably my favorite moment ever with him. That hug was just awesome.”
Brown-Parker will be remembering that moment when she is inducted into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame on April 27 in Lexington.
She said she […]
Reggie Warford’s Hall of Fame credentials go beyond basketball
BY MIKE FIELDS (Feb. 27, 2019)
Remember Reggie Warford?
He was a basketball star at Drakesboro High in the early 1970s, a skinny, leaping left-hander who became the first recruit Joe B. Hall signed after Hall succeeded Adolph Rupp as Kentucky’s head coach. Warford helped the Cats win the National Invitational Tournament in 1976, and was the first African-American basketball player to graduate from UK.
“I guess no one wants to be forgotten,” Warford said in a phone interview from his home in Pittsburgh.
Warford has battled major health issues for the past 20 years, culminating with a heart transplant in 2014, and a kidney transplant in 2017. He has developed a pulmonary condition that restricts his breathing. The muscles around his diaphragm have atrophied. He’s on oxygen at night. He’s 64, wheelchair-bound, and courageously facing his mortality.
“I’m in my final stages here,” Warford said. “They’ve done everything they can do, and there’s nothing […]

Hall of Famer Brian Brohm: Multi-sport athlete cover boy
BY MIKE FIELDS (June 12, 2018)
When Brian Brohm was inducted into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame a couple months ago, most people remembered him as a mega-star quarterback who led Trinity to three consecutive state football championships.
But he was much more than that.
Brohm was a multi-sport cover boy, an athlete for all seasons, whose last go-around at Trinity was nothing short of spectacular.
“My senior year was very important to me. I wanted to have the best year I could possibly have,” he said last week. “And we pretty much did that. I definitely cherish all those memories.”
Brohm’s versatility earned him national notice. As a junior, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated (November, 2002) for a story titled “The Vanishing Three-Sport Athlete.”
As a senior, Brohm put an exclamation point on his high school sports career:
- In football, he quarterbacked Trinity to its three-peat by completing 22 of […]
Shon Walker’s Hall of Fame game wasn’t just the long ball
BY MIKE FIELDS (April 17, 2018)
CYNTHIANA — Shon Walker still looks like he could step up to the plate and, with that sweet, smooth left-handed swing of his, send a baseball flying to the hinterlands.
Except . . .
“I tore a ligament in my leg playing kickball at our company picnic,” he said with a laugh.
Walker confessed his injury — and his concession to age — on a recent spring evening at River Road Park where he was helping instruct his son Donovan’s Little League team in practice.
Walker, 43, played his last minor league baseball game 20 years ago, but he still feels drawn to the diamond.
“The fresh-cut grass, getting the chalk out, I love all of it,” he said.
Walker’s love for the game, his talent for playing it, and his remarkable accomplishments at Harrison County High School, will be recognized when he’s inducted into the Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of […]
Hall of Famer Angela Payne Starnes loves teaching as much as running
BY MIKE FIELDS (April 9, 2018)
Angela Payne Starnes will be retiring at the end of this school year, giving up her duties as an elementary school physical education teacher.
And her duties as a high school/middle school athletic director.
And her duties as a track & field coach.
And her duties as a cross country coach.
And her duties as a school bus driver.
With all the running she does to keep up with five jobs, it should come as no surprise that Starnes was a championship runner in her younger days.
As a high school track star at Todd County Central, Angela Payne won seven state titles.
As a sophomore in 1978, she was the 440-yard champ and part of the winning 4×100 relay.
As a junior she captured the 400-meter dash and another 4×100 victory.
As a senior she swept the 400, 200 and 100 sprints.
Payne’s winning time of :12.20 in […]
