There are many talented inductees that were inducted into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame. Donna Murphy, UK Student Support Coordinator earned her spot in the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame from her achievements in basketball at Newport High school in northern Kentucky and then again at the collegiate level at Morehead State University.

Kentucky is not a stranger to sports getting attention. The football and basketball teams of Kentucky have always caught attention of fans. With the hardest football schedule ever attempted by a Kentucky team and with what seemed to be a great amount of good material the 1919 team played great football in certain games and let down just as consistently in others. The year of 1919-1920 basketball season, the basketball team are out to win the state championship. Several letter men are back and a number of good High School players are out for the team.
