| Coach Cotton Adams is well known throughout the state of Kentucky as an accomplished and dedicated football coach and educator. Larry Adams is a Corbin KY native who played and coached at Corbin High School for a combined 31 years. As a player he participated on Corbin's last undefeated team in 1960 and also on the 1962 state runner-up squad. His coaching career began at Corbin under Archie Powers where he served for 13 years as an assistant. Corbin won state championship titles in both 1976 and 1980 while Adams was in that role. Coach Adams was named head coach at Corbin in 1981 and guided the Redhounds to a state championship in 1982 and a state runner-up finish in 1990. His overall head coaching record at Corbin was 114-46. Adams was a player or coach on 3 state championship teams and 3 runners-up during his years at Corbin. Success followed Larry Adams throughout his career and he is truly an integral part of the rich football tradition in Corbin Kentucky. Larry Adams was much more than just a football coach. Like many great coaches throughout the state of Kentucky Coach Adams was a mentor surrogate parent and counselor to the student/athletes he was involved with. Former Redhound players and students (who didn't necessarily play football) will tell you that Cotton impacted them well beyond the football field. He had an uncanny ability to make all students feel wanted and respected as he went about his duties as a Business and Typing teacher at Corbin High School. He is known as a no-nonsense guy with a tremendous affinity for hard work and fairness. HIs personal story reflects that. He left Corbin High School upon graduation and travelled to Dakota Wesleyan College in MItchell South Dakota. Adams travelled 58 hours on a Trailways bus on a promise of a scholarship from then University President Jack J. Early (who was also a Corbin native). He started for four years at linebacker and graduated before coming back to coach at Corbin. | ||||||

He mentored and developed numerous athletes during his tenure and also helped them pursue college through life-changing scholarships. Currently, 5 of our varsity coaches and 2 administrators were mentored by him. He was my elementary PE teacher, and the impact he had on me, and countless others in our community, can't be measured in the 1000 characters in this application. His dedication to our school system and athletic programs has a ripple effect that will continue for years. | ||||||

| Gaines was born in Paducah, Kentucky to Lester and Olivia Bolen Gaines. Clarence helped his family by working in a garage while in high school. He attended local Lincoln High School, a member of the Kentucky High School League which was later to merge into the KHSAA. He excelled academically, played basketball, was an All-State football player, and played trumpet in the school band. He graduated as class salutatorian in 1941. Jim Crow Era segregation laws and the suggestions of a family friend led him to attend Morgan State University (then Morgan State College), a historically black college in Baltimore, Maryland. He entered in the fall of 1941 on a football scholarship. At Morgan State, Gaines was given his nickname of "Big House": a fellow student saw the 6 ft. 3in., 265 lb Gaines and declared: "You're as big as a house." Gaines played as a lineman for the Bears football team, was a member of the basketball team, and participated in track. Gaines was an All-CIAA selection as a lineman in football all four seasons and twice elected an All-American. When it came to basketball, he said he was "a very average basketball player." In 2004, he explained, "I was an All-America in football, but I was just on the basketball team to have something to do." Gaines graduated from Morgan State in 1945 with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry. He intended to go on into dental school, however his college football coach, Edward P. Hurt, suggested that he temporarily go to what was then known as Winston-Salem Teachers College. At the time, the small southern college had one coach for all sports, Brutus Wilson, who was also a Morgan State graduate; Hurt suggested that Gaines would make a good assistant coach. Gaines agreed and went to Winston-Salem. Gaines was to become an ambassador for basketball as a long-time coach, coaching basketball at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) from 1946 to 1993, compiling an 828-447 record. He led the Rams to 18 20-win seasons, eight CIAA titles, and in 1967 led WSSU to a Division II NCAA Championship, making the Rams the first basketball program from a historically black college or university to capture an NCAA national championship. Due to his proficiency as an athletic coach, teacher and humanitarian, Gaines has received numerous awards: CIAA Basketball Tournament Outstanding Coach Award; 1953, 57, 60, 61, 63, 66, 70, 77; CIAA Hall of Fame Inductee, 1975; NAIA Helms Hall of Fame Inductee, 1968; N.C. Sports Hall of Fame, 1978; CIAA Basketball Coach of the Year, 1957, 61, 63, 70, 75, 80; NAIA District 26 Outstanding Coach Award, 1975-78; Paul Robeson Award, 1980; Winston-Salem Urban League Family of the Year Award, 1973; Order of the Long Leaf Pine (N.C.); and the Silver Buffalo Award (Boy Scouts of America) etc. Gaines was named the NCAA Division II (1967) College Coach of the Year. In 1982 Gaines was recognized for his contribution to basketball by being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame (named in honor of the inventor of basketball James Naismith) as a coach. | ||||||

| Please summarize this person's accomplishments as a coach, player, official or contributor at the high school level in Kentucky. Donnie Gray coached the Clay County Tigerettes/Lady Tigers girls' basketball team for 21 years. During his tenure, he accumulated 505 and 142 losses for a career .780 winning percentage. His teams won eleven 49th District Championships, nine 13th Region Championships, and his team won the 1989 KHSAA Girls' State Basketball Championship. Donnie also had teams that finished runner-up in the state tournament in 1992, semifinalist in 1993, and quarterfinalist in 1988, 1991, and 1994. He has a career state tournament record of 12 wins and 8 losses, and Donnie was named Associated Press Coach of the Year twice during his run as coach. Donnie also was named 13th Region Coach of the Year four times while being at the helm of the Lady Tiger Basketball team. After retirement, Donnie was Athletic Director for over 10 years for Clay County High School and Clay County Public Schools. Please list any other factors about this individual that you would like for the Screening or Selection Committees to consider. Donnie Gray is truly deserving of this honor. Growing up, he never had the opportunity to play basketball due to his family not being able to afford to take him practice or games. As a result, Donnie pursued a career in coaching once he graduated college. Donnie was as dedicated and determined to make our Clay County Tigerettes girls' basketball program in the 1980's as successful as our Clay County Tigers boys' basketball team. He done so by winning a record seven consecutive 13th Region Championships (9 overall), nine consecutive 49th District Championships (11 overall), and the highlight of his run was the 1989 KHSAA Girls' Basketball State Championship. Recently, Donnie was honored by having the court in Bobby Keith Gymnasium named after him, and several years ago the girls' basketball team honored him by starting the Donnie Gray Shootout. Of all these accomplishments, Donnie most proud of his family: he attends all his grandchildren's games when he is healthy to go. Formerly screened in 2019, but not selected | ||||||

Over the course of his long career and despite changes and developments to the game, he was able to stay relevant and at the forefront of coaches in Region and the State and maintained a winning tradition at a small county school that competed with many other powerhouse programs in a strong 5th Region. This ability is most evident in his Regional Championships that bookended his career with his first coming in his 7th season and one coming 6 years before he retired. He also has had a huge influence on the Region and State through his coaching progeny. Many of his former players and assistants have went on to play at higher levels, had significant high school achievements, and have had distinguished coaching careers, including his two sons who both were veteran coaches in the 5th Region with 1200 wins and multiple championships between them. KHSAA Baseball would not be the same without Peewee's legacy. | ||||||

| Billy pitched for Ashland High School from 1964-66 compiling a 27-2 record. He allowed nine earned runs in three seasons. His e.r.a. as a junior was 0.41; as a senior in 1966 it was 0.31. He might be the most dominating pitcher in Kentucky High School history. In 1966 he struck out 150 in 66 2/3 innings. In 1965, as a junior, he struck out 97 and allowed three runs in 53 innings. He averaged two strikeouts per inning for his career. In the 1966 state tournament, which Ashland won, Billy pitched a complete game in the quarterfinals and four innings of relief in the semi-finals. In those 11 innings, he allowed one hit, one run and struck out 29. (29Ks of 33 outs in the state tournament.) Billy got the Tomcats to the championships game which his brother pitched with Billy waiting in the bullpen. Billy hit .649 as a junior, but hitting stats are missing for four games. He hit .386 as a senior. He was selected Kentucky High School Baseball Player of the Year by the Associated Press. After he declined the offer of a full scholarship at the University of Kentucky, Cleveland made Billy the 32nd pick of the 1966 MLB draft. After the draft, Syd Thrift of the Pirates called the Lynch family and apologized for the Pirates failure to select Bill earlier in the draft. An arm injury derailed his professional career, but as I understand the guidelines, selection to the Hall is based on an individual's high school performance. His high school career wasn't a fluke. He also pitched Ashland to state championships in Little League, Babe Ruth League and American Legion baseball. He is a man of high morale character. From:Mueller Nomination As a pitcher for Paul Blazer HS, Billy Lynch had a career record of 27-2 including a spotless 11-0 senior season with a 0.31 ERA and 150 K’s as a part of the 25-0 State Championship team in 1966. That year, the Associated Press named him the High School Player of the Year for 1966 and he was drafted with the 32nd overall pick in the 1966 MLB Draft by the Cleveland Indians. | ||||||

(attached) In 2015 Jim was inducted into the Johnson Central Hall of Fame. (attached) Throughout Jim Matney's life and career, apart from achieving a remarkable football record of 309-133, he positively influenced thousands of lives across several decades. He was a man of strong values and led young people through his faithful walk with Christ. Matney was a family man first, cherishing his wife and sons the way a father truly should. He walked the walk -- loved people for who they were, helped people in need, and saved many young people from a life of poor choices and poverty through his leadership and philanthropy. To know Jim was to love him -- he left every program and community better than he found it. You mountain kids have made believers out of a lot of people for a lot of years. Now my question to you guys is what are we going to do this year? Are we going to carry it on? Are we going to carry on what we believe in? We believe in the mountain way of life! We believe in being up these hollas, and being hillbillies, gettin in these trucks, going huntin' and fishin'. This is who we are and the rest of the nation makes fun of us. But it's a funny thing to me that anytime anybody retires in the city, you know where they want to come live? They want to come live in the country, get them a house up a holla somewhere, and live our life. And I'm glad to have them. We are who we are. We are the boys from the mountains, from the hollas, from the small towns. Don't let anybody come in here- especially from a big city- ever walk out of here thinking they are better people than you. | ||||||

She was respected by opposing coaches and game officials as well. There were countless times that either game officials or opposing coaches shared with me the respect they had for the way Kendall handled herself. In addition to being a very gifted athlete she was also a top-level student. She graduated from Perry Central High School with honors and finished in the top 10 in a class of over 200. Her teammates and classmates loved and respected her. Kendall suffered a torn ACL in the state tournament her junior year and lobbied with her surgeon to schedule her surgery immediately so she could begin rehab. She never felt sorry for herself and had a positive outlook toward her recovery. Her rehab went remarkably quick and she was in the starting lineup on opening night of her senior season only eight months after surgery. Kendall Noble was truly a coach’s dream. | ||||||

As the 1975 Coach of the Year, Coach Reese was the epitome of what the coaching profession should embody early in his career. Aside from his State Titles and 20 + District Championships, he advanced the quality and standard of the game by bringing college-level innovation to the high school level as he often visited major college programs to learn. He was likely one of the first high school coaches in the state to utilize statistical analytics for game preparation, which is now a common practice around the state. Though he is now retired, his thumbprint on the game still exists either from former players that are now coaching or current coaches that continue to seek his advice in their own careers. | ||||||

See the article attached. Dan Swartz’s basketball accomplishments did not end when his HS career ended. He signed with the University of Kentucky and was one of the first players in UK history to play as a Freshman in 1952. He transferred near the end of his Freshman year from UK to Morehead where he was All-Ohio Valley Conference for 3 years, Honorable-Mention All-American in 1954, 2-time All-American in 1955 and 1956 and led Morehead to their first NCAA tournament and first NCAA tournament win in 1956.

Dan finished his 3-yr career at Morehead holding 10 offensive records, including a total of 1,925 points (28.8 pts/gm average) which still ranks 4th on Morehead’s All-Time scoring lists. Dan went on to have a standout professional career, playing in the NIBL, the ABL, and the NBA, where he won a world championship in 1963 with the Boston Celtics. | ||||||
