Who's the best player from each of Kentucky's 16 high school regions that went on to play for UK?

[TopCatCal]

I'll start with my region, The 14th region. I would have to say Johnny Cox from Hazard who was an All-American at UK & helped lead UK to the 1958 national championship.

 

[Boyd94]

16th region, probably Larry Conley.

 

[ORCAT10]

Don’t know the region but Goose represents his.

 

[rivercatinfl]

16th region, probably Larry Conley.

Clint Wheeler but he wasn't very good. I'd say Larry Conley for sure.

 

[ace on the river]

9TH region. I'd say Dicky Beal.

 

[drbubba]

Region 1. Stan Key.

 

[jwhite123]

13th easily Reed (sorry Richie)

 

[HagginHall1999]

Am I missing someone besides my second son (future, he's only 8) for 10th region and who the hell do I pick?

Basil Hayden
Deron Feldhaus
Darius Miller

 

[clevenger32]

Region 1. Stan Key.

Ken Rollins from Wickliffe and Stan Key from Hazel

 

[BC_Wader]

6th Region Derek Anderson and Winston Bennett

 

[floopy]

12th Brownie Duncan according to Rupp. Tim Stephens

 

[UKhoopCat]

12th Brownie Duncan according to Rupp. Tim Stephens

Tim was a fantastic player, but I think the 12th Region representative would have to be Reggie Hanson of Pulaski County.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

2nd region. Many will say Travis Ford but it has to be Ramsey.

 

[UKhoopCat]

Don’t know the region but Goose represents his.

11th Region at Lexington Bryan Station.

 

[ColonelCat]

Region 7 Scott Padgett

 

[BC_Wader]

6th Region Derek Anderson and Winston Bennett

Scratch that. Bennett was 7th Region

 

[KAB Cats]

Ralph Beard outta Louisville

 

[Jakerz]

13th easily Reed (sorry Richie)

Wah Wah

 

[BlueManToo]

5th Region - Anthony Epps

 

[FrogtownRoadCat]

5th Region: Anthony Epps

 

[FrogtownRoadCat]

Honorable Mention: Elton Scott, Boo Brewer, Antwan Barbour, Kevin Ellery, and Scott Boley

 

[tug1543]

I'll start with my region, The 14th region. I would have to say Johnny Cox from Hazard who was an All-American at UK & helped lead UK to the 1958 national championship.

Mickey Gibson would be my second choice.

 

[tug1543]

16th region, probably Larry Conley.

Earl (brother) Adkins would be my second choice.

 

[tug1543]

11th Region at Lexington Bryan Station.

Vernon Hatton and James Lee would be my second and third choices. What region was Flat Gap with Carroll Burchett? Burchett and Osborne was a hell of a tandem back in the late 50's.

 

[jeffky]

Clint Wheeler but he wasn't very good. I'd say Larry Conley for sure.

Linville puckett

 

[jeffky]

Am I missing someone besides my second son (future, he's only 8) for 10th region and who the hell do I pick?

Basil Hayden
Deron Feldhaus
Darius Miller

Ronnie lyons

 

[jeffky]

Region 3 Scott Padgett

Rex chapman

 

[GoCatsGo!!]

Earl (brother) Adkins would be my second choice.

Ellis Johnson Rupps 1st All American at UK

 

[HagginHall1999]

Ronnie lyons

I don't think he'd make the cut vs my original three.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

9TH region. I'd say Dicky Beal.

Agreed! He was starting PG on the HS varsity team his freshman year for my alma mater, Holmes HS. I was three years ahead of him, so only got to watch him play the one year. He was really good.

 

[CGblue]

On behalf and in honor of my late Father-In-Law, I submit
Region 3: Cliff Hagan.

 

[ThroughBlue]

4TH

Brandon Stockton
Josh Carrier
JP Blevins
Tony Key

im sure im missing some thats just since ive been paying attention

 

[MrHotDice]

15 region John Pelphrey with Billy Ray Cassady from Inez a close second.

 

[52T]

The best players from KY did not play for KY. Unseld. Cowens. Griffith. McDaniels. Butch Beard. Why. Was it a race issue. I know this is not your question. Sorry

 

[machobland]

Basil Hayden
Deron Feldhaus
Darius Miller

Ned Jennings

Not better than Miller, but just want to give Nicholas County and a mostly forgotten Cat some love

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Region 3 Scott Padgett

Thought Scott played at St. X? That not 3 is it? Thought that was 6?

 

[Cleatortoises]

I don't think he'd make the cut vs my original three.

Locals who are old enough say Ronnie Lyons. I just missed seeing him play so no real strong opinion. Solid group to choose from.

 

[JonathanW]

4TH

Brandon Stockton
Josh Carrier
JP Blevins
Tony Key

im sure im missing some thats just since ive been paying attention

Never heard of Key.

Not an impressive group.
But a big-time player from the 4th went to WKU (Jim McDaniels)

 

[ColonelCat]

Thought Scott played at St. X? That not 3 is it? Thought that was 6?

My bad, it's 7th region, he did play at St X

 

[ThroughBlue]

Never heard of Key.

Key played at Russellville. From what I remember was committed to Huggins at Cincinnati but entered the draft instead
