If Andy Burns of WV makes free throw in 1981 SK goes out in 1st round of district and no one would be calling for comparison. Having said that, of course Holmes could have been beaten by Boone in Regional Finals. Still would have to say Holmes of 78 and this year is better overall team-- SK maybe had best tourney run of all time though. There is a difference.

First I cannot speak to Mr. Mackey's case directly as I am personally unaware of what exactly is being proposed for resolution. However, I am a criminal defense lawyer with over 20 years of experience representing persons who find themselves in this predicament. There are a number of resolutions available with agreement by the prosecutor and court. He could be eligible for drug court which is available in Scott County if certain amendments to the charge are made. For instance, a simple possession charge versus trafficking. Drug Court's emphasis is on rehabilitation not incarceration. If successful in drug court, diversion of the charges would result in a dismissal and not a conviction. Many times, a condition of diversion is going to school to attempt to better yourself versus going to jail with the deadend that that brings. This is available to individuals who have no prior felony charges etc. I know that some may say that this would made available to Mackey because of his athletic prowess but that is not correct. I represent many young individuals who are not involved in athletics that the same offer is made. Obviously, if he does not satisfy all conditions of the drug court (which will not be a walk in the park) the charges are re-instated and prosecution would follow. Unless his bond conditions specifically prohibit him from living in a particular place, he can live where he chooses if he lives by all other conditions.

Lexington Lafayette 1979- Dirk Minnifield UK; Jr. Johnson Cincinnati; Tony Wilson Western Kentucky Ballard 1977 Lee Raker Virginia; Jeff Lamp Virginia; Jerry Eaves Louisville (maybe was a junior) Male 1975 Darrell Griffith and Jerry Turner Louisville Central 1969 Ron King and Otto Petty Florida State All of the above played in state championship game-- wonder why?

I am in my late 40's and have followed all sports all my life. Played four years of college basketball. I cannot remember a time when more Kentucky athletes are major contributors in all sports. Tyson Gay -world champion sprinter; Brandon Webb- Cy Young winner; Shaun Alexander- NFL MVP; Chris Lofton-possible SEC POY and in running for National POY; Andre Woodson and Brian Brohm Heisman candidates along with a number of players on UK and UL football rosters; Scotty Hopson, Darrius Miller and Bud Mackey(even with legal problems) nationally recognized recruits. I am sure I am missing sports and athletes (pro golf etc) Not bad for our state population. Any comments

That was him. He loved to go baseline and pull up from about 15'.

Grant County: Tyler Jones '03 all time leading scorer; led to regional finals; signed at Miami (Ohio) Steve Howe '79 led GCHS to state 34-2 record; 2x all state; leading scorer for over 20 years; 4 good years at NKU Alan Shafer '01 broke Howe's scoring records; scored 49 against Lex Cath in an upset in 01 and over 50 in tourney in Texas Terry Smallwood '68 best player in the 60's led GCHS to regional finals all conference at Union College Bob Turner '60s held scoring records until Howe broke in 79 honorable mention Rob Kinmon mid 90's could play all positions at 6'5" Rusty Thomas 1975 solid shooting guard and great passer David Shelton all "O" and little else but could really score

Coach Forrest is an excellent bench coach. He generally finds the best matchups for his club as well as the worse matchups for the opponent and exploits them both. What really makes this interesting is the matchup with Scott County at state. He has been a real thorn in the side of the Cards for many years. I don't think he will have the horses this year to compete with the cards but he certainly has been able in the past to gameplan well for what the Cards will bring. Because of this Scott might really try to embarass Oldham if they get the chance because when Scott went out of the 8th region Coach Hicks made the comment in the paper that it was unusual to take the dominant team out of the region. Forrest made the statement to the same paper that it seemed to him that Oldham was the more dominant team immediately before Scott went to the 11th if you looked at who was going to state. This could be fun

Was told that the two did not come to school this morning. They are both in the co-op program and were planning on just going to their co-op positions in the late morning. Coach Kinmon found out and he and the administration made the decision. Life lessons sometimes come in small scoops and other times come in large doses.
