The Professor Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
