One of the finest all-around athletes in Kentucky schoolboy history since Wah Wah Jones, Lowell Hughes made the switch from quarter-back stardom with the football Wildcats to attempt to make the grade as a Kentucky basketeer. If he is successful in becoming a regular, Hughes will be the first to make the transition since Jones. Like the famous Wah Wah, Hughes did not report until after football season and found himself cast in the role of a late comer. Although better known as a school-boy All-America quarterback, Lowell also made the All-State basketball team at Prestonsburg.
