Tourney history junkies

in KY Boys Basketball (High School)

Featured Replies

Just now got an interesting email from Curtis Crye, an incredible historian from Eastern Kentucky.

 

His query: "Would you know who was the youngest guy to coach in the Kentucky high school basketball tournament. Phil Pratt coached Knott County Central in 1980. He was 24 years, 8 months, 3 week and 2 days. Just 7 years out of high school."

 

My answer to him included: "During World War II...when so many coaches, principals and even players went into the military...some high school players were designated as "coaches" during the season. There was a school in Webster County that had a student play, coach and "play in the band at halftime" according to the Madisonville sportswriter at the time. Unfortunately, I didn't write down which school nor the name of the "all-around" student."

 

Can anybody beat Phil Pratt's "record" during peace time?
