KENTUCKY SPORTS HISTORY  HIGH SCHOOL:  Basketball, Baseball & Football - SPONSORED BY        This started out to be a site for high school basketball…and the records do go back to the first "unofficial" state tournament in 1916.  But there is so much more:  a history of the Kentucky football playoffs, for example; and every baseball state tournament game score is here too.  This is one of the most comprehensive high school sports sites this side of the KHSAA.  As you take a look, be sure to check out each page.        After doing play-by-play in Madisonville for 23 years, research that originally was "job-helpful" became a hobby.  I still have plenty of info to upload and continue to dig for more.  We'll see how far I get with it.        Page Ten has a place to purchase archive recordings of play-by-play broadcasts from among hundreds of games in the 1980's and 1990's.  Listen to the play-by-play clip; look at the list of games available; and see if you wouldn't like to own some high school sports history.        Special thanks to Bob Simmons, my sportscasting mentor and former boss.  Bob taught me game preparation, numerous do's and don'ts, and put up with my noisy enthusiasm as we broadcast the District, Region and State Tournaments together for almost twenty years.        The Madisonville Messenger has been a tremendous source of information; I spent dozens of hours in the archives of the Hopkinsville New Era; and the online Park City Daily News (Bowling Green) have all been helpful as I fill in blanks and add notes.  Thanks to the many individuals who helped with personal scrapbooks, yearbooks, scores, coaches' names, team records, etc.        Jim Swinford of Cynthiana did an incredible job of digging up the final pieces of the puzzle that made the baseball records complete, and he supplied much of the 10th region basketball page.  David Edmundson has done marvelous work in compiling the history of the 4th region.  Jim Bates, Danny Perkins, Kevin Patton and the late Bob Offutt (all of Henderson) have supplied quite a bit of information; and former sportscaster Todd Griffin of the Princeton Times Leader has been a regular contributor.        In recent years, Ron Bevars and the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches...and 15th/16th region historian Curtis Crye...have supplied much material.        My name is Bob Mays.  If you have a correction for a gross error, a question, or a comment, my address is broadcaster240@hotmail.com.  I would enjoy hearing from you.                ~  whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God  ~   I Corinthians 10:31 36556
