If Management would ever spend a little HP profit on Editorial out here in the Kentucky Bureau, we'd be out doing "Kentucky Minute" coverage of stuff like tonight's Dogwood Trail throwdown in Paducah. (Of course, we'd also be sending in an expense report for reimbursement on two bean burritos, a large order of Potato Oles and a 44-ounce Diet Pepsi from our detour off Alben Barkley Drive and up Jackson to Taco John's.)
Twitter overnights: Darius Miller roots for the Miami Heath and, therefore, watches; John Wall roots for Tiger Woods and, therefore, does not.
Good 411 on Kentucky's floral clock.
Lack of 411 on Kentucky's career colleges.
RIP, Ralph McQueary, who, given that he was 17 and 18 in 1955, likely played on Adair County's 1955 KHSAA boys' Sweet Sixteen runner-up team.

I didn't hear the question, but the answer was Swen Nater, who couldn't get off the bench while Bill Walton was at UCLA but then had a long and productive pro career. Coach Crum remembered that John Wooden would memorize poetry that Nater would write and recite it to the team.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe the hype, warns a meteorologist for WEHT 25 of Evansville, Henderson and Owensboro.
ReplyDeleteMr. McQueary reportedly taught a mean drivers-ed class, too.
ReplyDeleteDiagonal cuts across the key and cuts across the lane--constant movement--can counteract a matchup zone defense, Coach Hall says.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Hooray for Etown!

ReplyDeleteYes: "... #25 McQueary hangs in the rafters of Burr Gymnasium in Adair County High School. His is one of only four jerseys that hang for every generation of fans and players to see. Hundreds of high school basketball players have worn the Adair County Indian jersey, but only four have been inducted into the Adair County Hall of Fame. Knowledgeable Adair County basketball fans will tell you Ralph McQueary and #25 are synonymous. ... He won the free-throw award in 1955 by beating out a teammate that shot 95%. ..."
