herald-leader.com Richie remembers scoring 51 points in state championship game
It was 25 years ago this month that Clay County's Richie Farmer solidified his status as a legend when he scored 51 points in a loss to Allan Houston-led Ballard in the Sweet Sixteen finals in Louisville's Freedom Hall. Farmer hit a record nine three-pointers on his way to setting a title-game scoring record, but it wasn't enough as Ballard won 88-79. Farmer said all he can remember from that historic night "was wanting to win so bad and trying to do everything in my power to win. Was it the best game he ever played? Farmer said he's never critiqued his own work, but others have done it for him. "Coming to the Sweet Sixteen for so many years and running into people from all over the state, people that have been coming here for 20, 30, 40, 50, even 60 years, they invariably tell me that was the greatest high school performance they ever saw. That puts it in perspective that it must've been a pretty special night." Farmer was in Rupp on Thursday night to watch Clay County in the tournament for the first time since 2001. He was happy to see his former coach (and fellow legend) Bobby Keith on the bench as the Tigers' honorary coach. "I think that's outstanding," Farmer said.
KABC Court of Honor Eight coaches were admitted to the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches' Court of Honor. They were recognized during the Sweet Sixteen on Friday. The honorees: * Kerry Stovall. who had more than 300 victories, including six region titles, and led Christian County to the 2011 state championship. * Tony Hopper, who's won more than 400 games and has led three schools (Central City, Muhlenberg North and Apollo) to the state tournament. * Corky Cox, who was a success at Hodgenville and LaRue County, winning almost 300 games and three region titles. * Bob Eades won almost 400 games in 21 years at Walton-Verona, Paris and Grant County. His teams won three region titles. * Cary Barr, a multi-sport coach at Paris, led the Greyhounds' basketball teams to more than 400 wins. * Donnie Harville, an assistant to Jock Sutherland at Lafayette when the Generals won the 1979 state title, he took the reins from Jock and won more than 300 games at Lafayette. * Herb Tye led Barbourville for almost 40 years. * Arthur "Mock" Mullins won more than 300 games at Elkhorn City and three region titles in a row in the 1950s. The KABC also gave a lifetime media award to Mike Fields of the Lexington Herald-Leader, who has covered Kentucky high school hoops for more than three decades.

herald-leader.com Sweet Sixteen: Knott Central shakes off slow start, tops Clay County [/b] By Mike Fields
Maybe the Harlem Shake shook Knott County Central out of its slumber. The Patriots awoke from a sleep-walking start and closed the first half with a 19-3 run that spurred them to a 68-54 victory over Clay County in the final first-round game of the 96th KHSAA Sweet Sixteen in Rupp Arena on Thursday night. Clay County had the upper hand early and, sparked by Tyler McDaniel's nine points, led 17-9 at the end of the first quarter. That's when the Knott Central student section did a rousing rendition of the Harlem Shake. The Patriots took their cue and began dancing all over Clay County. After Corey Short hit a three-pointer for Knott Central and Jarrod Rice answered with a three for Clay County, the rest of the second quarter belonged to the Patriots. Short hit two more threes, and Camron Justice hit one as Knott Central blitzed the Tigers to take a 31-23 halftime lead. The Patriots controlled the second half and posted their 30th win of the season. Justice, a 6-foot-2 sophomore guard who already has several Division I offers (including Tennessee), led Knott Central with 29 points, nine rebounds and four assists. He was 10-for-10 from the foul line in the fourth quarter, and was 13-for-15 on the night. Chance Cornett, a 6-3 sophomore, had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Simon Christon, a 6-3 sophomore, had 12 points and eight rebounds. Clay County opened the game in a diamond-and-one on Justice, but he's used to seeing gimmick defenses. Clay County Coach Robert Marcum thought poor shot selection cost his team in the decisive second quarter. McDaniel did all he could to keep the Tigers ticking. The 5-11 sophomore had 21 points and nine rebounds. Jarrod Rice had 12 points and Kody Reed added 10. Clay County coaching legend Bobby Keith was on the bench to lend his support to the Tigers, who were making their first state tournament appearance since 2001. Marcum wanted to pay tribute to Keith, who led Clay County to the 1987 state title. Read more here: www.kentucky.com/2013/03/07/2547433/sweet-sixteen-knott-central-shakes.html

The Times-Tribune Clay County sophomore Tyler ‘Chip’ McDaniel named Media's 13th Region Player of the Year By Les Dixon, Sports Editor
Clay County sophomore Tyler ‘Chip’ McDaniel captured the 2013 13th Region Media Boys and Girls Player of the Year award. McDaniel guided his team to a 26-7 record, including a 49th District championship and the school’s first 13th Region championship dating back to 2001. He played a big part in Clay County’s 15-game win streak during the end of the season and he also led the Tigers with an 18.5 scoring average. He was a threat from three-point range, knocking down 71-of-195 three-point attempts (36.4 percent) and led the state in free throw shooting by connecting on 146-of-168 attempts (86.9 percent). McDaniel was only one of four players (Barbourville’s Devon Mills, South Laurel’s Zac Baxter and Jackson County’s Jordan Fox) that were named on every media voting ballot this season. Clay County coach Robert Marcum was named Boys Coach of the Year after guiding the Tigers to a 26-7 record and the school’s first 13th Region title in 12 years.
