HALL OF FAME - 6 new added to hall
Induction ceremony April 24

GLASGOW

Six new members have been added to the Glasgow-Barren County Athletic Hall of Fame. Two were first-year nominees, two had been on since the first nomination process 4 years ago and the other two were nominated in the intervening years.

“It was the most competitive selection process I’ve seen in my three years associated with the Hall of Fame,” Daily Times Publisher Pete Mio said. “But I think we have a great class for 2008.”

This year’s inductees are: James Bravard coached Glasgow High School to prominence after coming to the school in the late 1940s. He led the boys’ basketball team to two state tournaments and he coached the tennis team to two state titles. He also coached football and led the Scotties to Southcentral Kentucky Conference and Southern Kentucky Conference titles. Bravard left Glasgow and moved to Hopkinsville where he continued his successful coaching career.

Billy Buford was the sixth man, and sometime starter, for the 1968 Glasgow High School boys’ basketball team that won the state title. He was only a sophomore that season, but made a name for himself the next two years before leaving high school. He first went to Paducah Community College after graduation, then to the University of Memphis. There he helped the Tigers reach the NCAA national championship game, where they lost to the UCLA dynasty and center Bill Walton. Buford played professional basketball overseas for more than a decade before retiring from sports.

Bobby Driver was a four-sport star at Temple Hill High School in the days before the consolidation of Barren County schools. He followed his prep career with a four-year stint at Western Kentucky University playing baseball. After serving as an assistant coach his senior year at WKU, he graduated and began a career as an educator and coach. He was head coach in three sports at Hiseville, track at Glasgow High School, and football for 10 years at Allen County-Scottsville. He closed his career as a middle school coach at Glasgow before passing away.

Powell Gillenwater was an all-sports athlete at Glasgow High School before graduating in 1951. He played for Bravard. He went on to star at Centre College in football. He was inducted into the Centre Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003. He lived in Phoenix, Ariz., until his death.

Charles Allen Jones stared as a linebacker at Glasgow High School from 1972 to ’75. He was all state as a junior and senior and was the first GHS player to make all three all-state teams of the time — Associated Press, Louisville Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald Leader. He received a scholarship to the University of Kentucky, where he was a four-year letterman for the Wildcats.

Alicia Polson Scott made the most of her opportunity. The 1977 graduate of Glasgow High School was on the inaugural GHS girls’ basketball team. She also reached state in doubles tennis while in high school. She was not offered a scholarship to play basketball at Western Kentucky University, but walked on to the program. By the end of her senior year, she was the first All-American in women’s basketball at WKU and she is still in the top 10 all time in several women’s basketball statistical categories at the university. She parlayed her success at WKU into a solid college coaching career before becoming an assistant athletic director. She now resides in Missouri.

The 2008 Glasgow-Barren County Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony will Thursday, April 24, at 6 p.m. at the Cave City Convention Center.
