Nominee's Accomplishments at the High School Level in Kentucky:
The 1972 Muhlenberg County Player of the Year at Drakesboro, Reggie Warford would go on to become a trail-blazing figure at the University of Kentucky. The lefty guard scored 1,941 points in his three-year prep career for the Cardinals, averaging over 25 ppg as a senior, and helped lead his squad to the 1971 10th District title and an appearance in the regional championship game. Warford earned All-State honors as a senior and would sign to play for the Wildcats under Coach Joe B. Hall. As a senior, Warford helped lead the Wildcats to the 1976 NIT Championship, scoring 14 points in the title game against UNC-Charlotte. Perhaps more importantly, Warford was the first African-American basketball player to graduate from UK, helping pave the way for others to follow. Warford returned home to coach boys’ basketball at newly consolidated Muhlenberg County High School, where he fashioned a 66-28 mark and earned the 2010 3rd Region Championship.
