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

Clint Wheeler but he wasn't very good. I'd say Larry Conley for sure.
9TH region. I'd say Dicky Beal.
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

Tim was a fantastic player, but I think the 12th Region representative would have to be Reggie Hanson of Pulaski County.
2nd region. Many will say Travis Ford but it has to be Ramsey.
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.

All-American
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.
On behalf and in honor of my late Father-In-Law, I submit
Region 3: Cliff Hagan.
Region 3: Cliff Hagan.
4TH

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
Ned Jennings
Not better than Miller, but just want to give Nicholas County and a mostly forgotten Cat some love
Thought Scott played at St. X? That not 3 is it? Thought that was 6?
Locals who are old enough say Ronnie Lyons. I just missed seeing him play so no real strong opinion. Solid group to choose from.
Never heard of Key.
Not an impressive group.
But a big-time player from the 4th went to WKU (Jim McDaniels)
Key played at Russellville. From what I remember was committed to Huggins at Cincinnati but entered the draft instead
