Im glad they've got this Hall of Fame going. I really hope they put William Kean and Donna Murphy in the next class

[ForearmShiver]

I know this list will get long quickly, but anyway: Steve Miller, Henry Clay; Allan Houston, Ballard; and of course J.R. Vanhoose, Paintsville.

[Jed Clampett]

How about Robin Harmon, Russell Williamson, Billy Ray Cassady

[Truth]

I hope they will be exclusive in their choices. Too many H of Fs, like the one in Cooperstown, include too many "good" players. A H of F should only be for the truly outstanding.

[ForearmShiver]

My preferred criteria would be: Mr. Basketball + State Championship(s) and/or State Career Record Holders and Sweet Sixteen Record Holders.

[Ballers]

I know Dunbar has not been totally known for the bball in a while.
But their track and field + cross country teams are absolutely amazing.
It's off topic, but if they could teach their speedies how to shoot a ball they'd be ok.

[School Admin.]

I'm surprised Grady Wallace didn't make the list.
