The Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame is getting ready to celebrate its latest class of inductees.

The Hall of Fame will honor the Class of 2024 in a ceremony at the State Theater this Saturday.

Hall of Fame Board Member Rick Walters said each year the organization reviews and approves 12 to 14 members for induction.

“For coaches, they look at their overall records and things that they won,” Walters said. “District and region titles, and how many state titles, and were they Coach of the Year, stuff like that. For players, it’s whether they were All-State players, their scoring records, and how many districts or regions they won and state championships.”

Among the inductees is former Central Hardin High School coach Terry Buckles. In a career that spanned 24 seasons, teams under Buckles posted a record of 548 and 171, winning six region championships and finishing state runner-up in 1996. Buckles was named Region 5 Coach of the Year six times.

“I’ve known Terry Buckles since he went to East Hardin and I did too, so I’ve known Terry a long time as a player and a coach, and he’s just an all-round good person, a great teacher and coach, and his players liked to play for him, I think.”
