Jim McKee is a farmer. He is he son of a farmer. His kids like farming. Now, I don’t know much about farming, but my dad was one generation off a working farm. My granddad farmed and for a living. There are similarities between the practices which successfully harvest a bountiful yield and the practices which harvest a well trained and effective football team. McKee would know all about it, that it why he is approaching 300-wins and winning at a rate close to 80%. Enjoy this look at another of Kentucky’s greatest all-timers in the football (KHSAA) industry.

His matriculation to UK was ill-timed. When the great Danny Sundberg, the pride of Waggener High arrived on the Wildcat campus, reporting for football camp, the Big Blue had just hired a Bear Bryant assistant named, Charlie Bradshaw. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. Thereafter, Sundberg and several of his Wildcat mates transferred to WKU where Sundberg would earn three varsity letters (1963-65) as a fullback. When you look into the soulful eyes of the man, you see the pain from some hard living welled up inside. You see something else too. You see contentment, you see pride, and you see a guy who has been a hero to so many through the years, this author included. Take a bow, Danny Sundberg. You have earned it.

Friday Night Fletch.

There are scores of “volunteers” who selflessly give of themselves for the benefit of the middle and high school programs across Kentucky. They never get any fanfare or recognition. Well, we thought we would change that today by recognizing the incredible contributions of “Doc Long,” Hopkinsville High School’s long-standing team physician from 1976-1996. Little late in coming; but, better late than never. Friday Night Fletch!
