| By the time Greg Austin graduated in 1968, he had earned more letters than anyone in the history of Lafayette HS. He participated in football, basketball, and track. He also played baseball in the summer. For eight years, he had no break between seasons. Greg ran the 440 in :50:03 seconds and his 42’ 8 ½†triple jump earned him a state championship. Although baseball was his best sport, basketball was his first love, because it was something an introvert could do by himself. His senior year, he earned 3rd team honors. Greg was Lafayette’s football quarterback and was named 1st team AP during his senior year. Documentary through the Louis B.

| Perky Bryant's high school career was stellar. As a 175-pound halfback, he led one of the greatest football teams in Evarts history to an 11-1 record during his season. Finishing second in the Cumberland Valley Conference, EHS's only loss of the season was to the eventual Class A state championship team. Bryant scored 202 points his senior season, earned 13 varsity letters in four sports at EHS, and powered his way to the end zone with huge contributions for team wins during numerous games (39 points out of 48/ 33 out of 40). His biggest accomplishment was being recognized by the Louisville Courier-Journal as the 15th Best High School Football Player in the state of Kentucky for the 1950's decade. The honor was overwhelming for Bryant considering the number of players, for a 10-year period, that was considered for the award. Perky Bryant was a standout multi-sport athlete at Evarts High School in Harlan County; however, football was his greatest love. His father was a coal miner and his mother a homemaker. He grew up in a coal camp known as Number 2 Camp in Kenvir and worked at a grocery store all day on Saturdays and then would play hard-nosed football at night. Despite living in a small town, Bryant's athletic prowess gained him statewide attention and he continued playing the game of football at the University of Kentucky after graduating Evarts High School in 1960. His grit and drive were evidenced as he had great success at UK as a member of the fabled "Thin Thirty" Wildcats. In 1962, Charlie Bradshaw became coach and Bradshaw's first win came in Detroit, Michigan over Detroit by a score of 27-8. Junior Perky Bryant scored three touchdowns against the Titans. He was a three-year letterman on the UK Varsity Team in 1961-1963. In 1962, he was the leading scorer for UK. | ||||||

| As a freshman, we started Jim at shortstop on our varsity team. Quickly, we all saw how valuable of a teammate he was. He contributed to the success of our team just in his first year. As a sophomore, Jim developed into one of our most talented players and worked his way to the top of the batting order. Jim was recruited by multiple regional summer league teams, where he played with talented college and professional recruits, who were two-three years older than him. As a junior, Jim was named captain of the team and played every position we needed him to fill. Jim’s batting average that year was 598. Jim was named to the All-Region Team (1977). As a senior (1978), Jim was recognized as one of the top players in the Cincinnati area and maintained a batting average of 693. Jim was drafted by the Montreal Expos straight out of high school. Jim had multiple offers from Division 1 colleges but chose to go to Northern Kentucky University on a baseball scholarship to stay close to his elderly mother. In my opinion, Jim is the best baseball player that has ever represented Newport High School. Any coach or official in that era would agree that Jim made his mark playing baseball in the Greater Cincinnati area. It was an honor to be his coach for four years. I followed his career through college and was proud of how he represented our school and baseball program. Jim has sponsored and coached many youth athletic teams over the last 20 years to give back to give back to the community and share his knowledge. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| In 1950, George broke Kentucky legend Wallace “Wah Wah†Jones national four-year scoring record while playing for the Frances Bulldogs in Crittenden County. George finished his high school career with 2,604 points, and it is believed that he held the record until it was broken by “King†Kelly Coleman, who still holds the state record. At the time of his death in 2001, George ranked 45th on the Kentucky all-time scoring list. George learned a new style of basketball on the city playgrounds in Baltimore during the war years. A feature in The Courier-Journal said, “He flips the ball from every angle imaginable – and some you can’t imagine – and makes ‘em.†This was despite often being double- or triple-teamed, according to his coach. He was also an early adapter of the overhand free throw and was known for his deadliness from the line. He would shoot from the half-court circle to start games, and opponents would often move games to bigger gyms to accommodate the crowds that flocked to see him. George worked wherever he could in the small, fluorspar-mining community to help support his grandmother, with whom he lived after being abandoned by his mother. That included starting the fire at the school in the early mornings before everyone else arrived, catching mice for a local storeowner, and whatever farm work he could find. Often, he would miss morning classes to go hunting or fishing in order to provide food for the table. George was offered numerous scholarships, and went to UK the summer after graduation to scrimmage for Coach Rupp. After two weeks, he decided that he missed home too much and left. He served as a Marine Corps during the Korean War and later retired from US Steel in Gary, Indiana. He then returned to spend the rest of his days in Crittenden County, where he continued to support the school in Frances until it was closed due to consolidation. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| Justin was a 5-year starter for the Yellowjackets. His statistics are 1950 points, 1680 rebounds, and 772 assists. His first year, the eighth grade, was the year that Coach Bob Fox (KHSAA Hall of Fame 2001) came to Earlington High School (EHS) as principal and basketball coach. Coach Fox ran a 1-2-1-1 full-court press the entire game. Adolph Rupp and Male Coach Rendek said it was the best high school press they had ever seen. Justin was one of two forwards stationed at mid-court. That style of play was very demanding on the players but also very challenging on opponents. The average margin of victory for the 1966-67 season was 25.6 points. Justin was taken out early in many games. Otherwise, his statistics would have been much higher. He was a "team first" player and did not regret his early departure. He saw the benefit of giving the substitutes a lot of playing time during the season, so they were able to contribute valuable minutes in the Sweet Sixteen Tournament. Justin was a team leader. In his junior year, he was the only returning starter. EHS and Earlington Million had integrated the previous year. All other starters came from the JV team. Those players had only played together for one year. Even with that lack of experience, Justin led the team to a 29-7 record and to the 1966 Sweet Sixteen. Next year, he led the team to a 38-1 record with the only loss to Louisville Male by 4 points at the LIT. Justin was a "coach-on-the-floor". In the 1967 Championship game against Covington Catholic, with 46 seconds remaining, an EHS guard caused an "over-and-back" violation. As shown in the submitted video, the guard dropped his head, feeling he lost the game. Justin immediately ran to him and coached him to keep his head in the game. On the next EHS play, the guard got an assist on a Sharp basket. EHS won the game on a last-second shot. However, had Justin not intervened after the violation, the result could very likely have been different. Video URL: https://youtu.be/vvGW2GYcidE | ||||||

| Dangerous Dan Swartz – Owingsville Bobcats Center from 1948 – 1951. Dan led Owingsville to state rankings as high as 6th his Junior year and 3rd his Senior year. Dan suffered a knee injury that limited him to 10 games his senior season. He finished his high school career with 2,450 points, only a few hundred points shy of the National Record at the time – a record that was surely to be broken if he had played a full Senior HS season. He was named 1st Team All-State in both his Junior and Senior years and 2nd Team All-State in his Sophomore Year. He was named to the All 16th Regional Team in 1949, 1950, and 1951. He was also a standout baseball player for the Owingsville Bobcats during his HS playing days. KHSAA Hall of Fame Inductee Ellis Johnson called Dan “one of the top-5 HS players ever to come out of the state†during this era along with other KHSAA Hall of Fame Inductees, Cliff Hagen, Wah-Wah Jones, Ralph Beard and John “Sonny†Allen. 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. He finished both his junior and senior years at Morehead in the nation’s top 3 scorers each year. 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. | ||||||

| There aren't any high school statistical records available for Mr. Wells due to segregation and his attending an all-black high school. But Mr.Wells is a basketball legend in Kentucky. His former high school teammate and college teammate Charles Hunter, who has already been inducted into the KHSAA Hall Of Fame, can verify his credentials. Many who were alive to see them both play say that Jerry was the "man" on both his high school and college teams. A quick Google search can reveal many accolades. The legendary college coach Abe Lemon said "Jerry was an all-American if there ever was one." Mr. Wells mentored many young athletes growing up in Glasgow and Bowling Green over the years. Wells led Oklahoma City in scoring in his junior and senior seasons. He produced 27.1 points and 7.8 rebounds a game as a senior and 20.0 points and 6.8 rebounds a game as a junior. Wells' career averages were 18.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest. He made the All-College Tournament all-tournament team twice. From 1963-66, Wells led the Chiefs to three NCAA Tournament appearances, the 1965 All-College Tournament championship, two All-College Tournament runner-up finishes and a 60-26 record. Wells formed OCU's Big Three alongside Hunter and James Ware. Abe Lemons guided the Chiefs to a 24-5 record in 1965-66. Oklahoma City's 1965-66 team ended its season in the NCAA Tournament, falling to the eventual national champion Texas Western 89-74 in the first round. Texas Western, now known as Texas-El Paso, featured an all-black starting lineup and became the subject of the movie "Glory Road." Lemons said of the 6-foot-1 Wells that he was a complete player "with a fine sense of balance". | ||||||
