âI will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.â
Legendary University of Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp was known to have tweaked this bit of the 121st Psalm to reference the source of talent on some of his greatest teams: Appalachia. The mountains and hills of Eastern Kentucky.Â
Indeed, some of the most beloved Wildcats of all time hail from this part of the state. Wallace âWah Wahâ Jones of the âFabulous Fiveâ â the team that truly put Rupp and UK on the NCAA map â was a Harlan boy. Johnny Cox, an All-American and 1958 national champion, was from Hazard.

Delighted to see such an eclectic mix of women who have taken out the top Australia Day honours this year. These women are true embodiment of the saying of Australiaâs Patron Saint Mary MacKillop â ânever see a need without doing something about itâ.
