53 Darrell Griffith 10 Louisville Male

54 Wesley Cox 2 Louisville Male

55 Winston Bennett 3 Louisville Male

Adam Chiles, Kentucky

Twany Beckham, Kentucky

DeJuan Wheat, Louisville

 

Kelan Martin, Butler

Quentin Snider, Louisville

The only D1 player from Owsley County that I'm aware of was Paul Smith, who played guard for Mississippi State and graduated in 1966. He held the SEC consecutive free throws made until the mid '80s when it was broken by a Vandy player.

Bob Muntis, Miami univ.

 

The NKUs were all D2 before they made the transition to D1.[/QUO
