King” Kelly Coleman, Kentucky’s first Mr. Basketball and the all-time leading scorer in state high school boys’ basketball history, died Sunday at Noreen and Greg Wells Hospice Care Center in Hazard. He was 80.

Coleman was a star for Wayland High School, a small school in Floyd County that was a member of the 15th Region before consolidating into Allen Central in 1972.

I’d love to have watched him play. My grandpa use to tell crazy stories about him.
