[Old School Hound]

Another multi-sport athlete from EKY that I watched play was Middlesboro's Jeff Kyle. Jeff wanted to transfer to Corbin and play his senior season with the Redhounds. He came to Corbin and practiced with the team over the summer. But some influential racists put the kabash on that and Kyle went back to Middlesboro and had a season to remember. First team all-state in football, second team all-state in basketball, led his baseball team to the 1982 Final Four. Maybe the bigots that sent Jeff Kyle back to Middlesboro because he was black cursed Corbin. The Hounds won the AA title in '82 and haven't won one since. The curse of Jeff Kyle, folks.
