Justin Doellman - Xavier - (2003)

Although not "my school" as the title says. This player who has a birthday today (11-2) is the only person to ever win a championship in the NCAA, NBA, and ABA.

 

Nice! Tom Thacker - Covington Grant HS

 

1971 - Indiana Pacers, ABA

1968 - Boston Celtics, NBA

1961 & 1962 - Cincinnati, NCAA

 

1958 & 1959 - Grant HS, KHSAA 9th Region

Rockcastle.

 

ZERO.

Mason County:

Tom Corde (1968) - Ohio University

Ronnie Lyons (1970)- Kentucky

Mike Corde (1972) - Ohio University

Allen Feldhaus Jr (1981) - EKU

Willie Feldhaus (1982) - Morehead State

Deron Feldhaus (1987) - Kentucky

Shawn Myrick - University of Cincinnati

Chris Lofton - Tennessee

Darius Miller - Kentucky

Treg Setty - Southern Illinois, then Ohio University

 

Have possibly missed some

Williamstown

Arnie Risen- EKU->Ohio St.

 

There’s another from the late 80s/early 90s, Brian Milburn might have been his name. Finished HS at Russell or somewhere but he ended up at Vandy.

I believe Fred Hale played at Williamstown and went on to UofL

I believe one of the Hiltz Boys from Covington Catholic was trained by Coach Frederick and he was a walk on at Notre Dame. I think he’s a Blue Angel pilot today. Pretty Special kid. Had a buddy whose son graduated from Covington Catholic and said he gave one of the best speeches he ever heard at graduation. Cool stuff

 

I believe you are talking about Greg Hiltz and if I am not mistaken he went to the US Coast Guard Academy from CCH.

 

 

I had thought part of John Hiltz's (Cov Cath '98) story was that he was unable to play at Notre Dame. ND's Media Guide however lists him on the "All-Time Roster" and he has a stat page on sports-reference.com.

 

Here are a couple of pieces on John's journey:

'Blue Team' Living Golden Dream :: Notre Dame Men's Basketball :: UND.COM :: The Official Site of ND Athletics

Go Irish, Fly Navy // News // Notre Dame Magazine // University of Notre Dame

 

Jim Hiltz (Cov Cath '99), played at the US Coast Guard Academy (DIII). He is still listed as one of the all-time leaders there in several stat categories.

 

Greg Hiltz (Cov Cath '02), also attended Notre Dame, but didn't play there.

Tom Thacker is the ONLY basketball player in history to be on a championship team in the NCAA, NBA Boston Celtics and ABA Indiana Pacers.

Williamstown

Arnie Risen- EKU->Ohio St.

 

There’s another from the late 80s/early 90s, Brian Milburn might have been his name. Finished HS at Russell or somewhere but he ended up at Vandy.

 

To clarify, Milburn finished at Russell County in the 12th Region (now 4th), not Russell High in the 16th Region (near Ashland).

I believe Fred Hale played at Williamstown and went on to UofL

 

I was uncertain and had to look him up when I posted that. You are correct, though I don't believe he ever suited up for the varsity Cardinals, or I'm unable to find any evidence he did.

Simon Kenton: Jeff McKinley Lousiville

CORBIN:

 

Jerry Bird( UK under Adolph Rupp)

Have possibly missed some

 

Brian Simpson went to Troy I believe.

Was Bracken County a force in the late 30's and early 40's? 3 of those players went D1 during the war.

 

I should have known @brooksville would have already answered this. Those were the glory days. It was Brooksville High at the time, but still the only High school in the county other than Augusta.

Madisonville "Maroons"...in chronological order more or less:

 

Paul Walker - Western Kentucky (1932-34)

Frank Ramsey - Kentucky

Ches Riddle - Kentucky

John McClearn - Western Kentucky

Darryl Owens - Utah State

Gates Irwin - Texas A & M

Steve Ashby - Western Kentucky

Skip McGaw - Kentucky

Travis Ford - Missouri/Kentucky

Michael Hunt - Murray State

Michael Haney - Eastern Kentucky

Jon Hood - Kentucky

Jaiveon Eaves - Evansville

 

I don't believe this is an all-inclusive list.
