| The sultan of stuff Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:53 -0500 Collecting sports memorabilia is a popular hobby for fans across the world. Cards, trophies, jerseys, game programs, autographs and photos - hardcore collectors can’t get enough. Bowling Green attorney Brad Coffman is certainly no exception. Patrons entering the downtown Coffman & Kirwin law office will find a bounty of vintage photos, pennants, autographs, collages, programs, cards and posters of his two childhood passions - the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Browns. “I’ve been a big sports fan since I was a little kid ... and what I couldn’t do (professionally), I enjoyed watching others do,” said Coffman, who grew up in the Lexington area. “And the only two teams that anybody followed back then were the Reds and the Cleveland Browns. “I’d collect cards and things like that, but a few years ago I got some pictures of the stadiums and things like that, and then some more of the old players and then some Sports Illustrated covers - and it kind of just grew from there.” The term “grew” might be an understatement. Coffman has more than 180 pieces of memorabilia hanging in both his personal office and throughout the halls and front lobby of the law office. His main focus is the 1961 Reds - Coffman went to see the team on his 11th birthday that year, his first baseball game - and the 1964 Browns, which was Cleveland’s last world championship squad. On one wall of his personal office, visitors can see team photos and an original yearbook, as well as a framed photo or baseball card for every player who played an inning for the Reds during the 1961 season. The other wall holds team photos, pennants and individual framed pictures of the 1964 Browns - including several frames of Hall of Famers such as Jim Brown and Lou Groza. He also has a framed photo from a 2002 team reunion with the signatures of every player in the 1964 starting lineup - sans Groza, who died in 2000. In addition to plenty of other photos of the Reds and Browns, Coffman also proudly displays several pieces honoring the University of Louisville, where he earned his law degree. And as a practicing lawyer in Bowling Green for nearly three decades, Coffman said he also couldn’t resist paying a small tribute to Western Kentucky - he has various WKU photos in the front section of the lobby. Coffman had always collected cards and various items, but things really blew up several years ago when he became an online shopper. “I kind of discovered eBay,” he said. “I’d never been on eBay in my life and I found that you could get these pictures if you looked around enough and you could find them at a reasonable price. You don’t have to pay an arm and a leg, and I framed them as cheaply as possible. I watched it real close, because I knew it could take me over if I didn’t watch it.” Coffman says his allegiances still lie with three teams - the Reds, the Browns and the Cardinals. Essentially the only sports he follows come from his favorite teams in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Louisville. “I don’t really watch much other sports as far as other football or other baseball games, I watch the Reds or I watch the Browns - and as far as college, I’m a big sap for the University of Louisville,” Coffman said. “I’ve been to several of the games, I watch or listen on the radio and do pretty much whatever’s necessary to follow all three.” Coffman said that the public reaction varies, but whether the items catch a client’s eye early or late, most of them notice the walls eventually. “Some mention it right off, some don’t mention it, and some eventually after a while can’t help but notice it,” he said. “It’s a little different from the normal plaques and things you might see in a lawyer’s office - I hung those for a while and sort of got tired of it. “I thought I could go back to my childhood a little bit.” Asked if he has his eye on any new gems for his prized collection, Coffman said that right now he couldn’t be happier with what he has. “As far as I’m concerned, the collection is basically complete,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot of things still out there, but as far as I’m concerned, I’ve got the things that I want. “I mean maybe I might see a game program from the ’64 Browns or something that catches me, or little things like that - but nothing else real big.” |
| BG East ready for shot at Williamsport Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:54 -0500 Members of the Bowling Green East 11- and 12-year-old squad are basking in the glow of a second straight state championship after capturing the State Little League crown last week at Valley Sports in Louisville. But unlike last year, when BG East’s 11-year-old all-star championship marked the end of its postseason, there is still more work for the 11-12s to do - beginning Saturday in the Great Lakes Regional at Indianapolis. Bowling Green East joins all-star teams from Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois in battling for the right to advance to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. With about 10 days off between games, BG East has a chance to reflect on winning a second straight title - something BG East manager Rick Kelley said his team should be very proud of. “This is a very close-knit group,” Kelley said. “They like each other. They support each other. As many good teams as there are across the state, it’s quite an accomplishment to win state titles back to back. I think it speaks a lot for their abilities and determination.” Bowling Green East’s success has been a team effort. East is 13-0 so far in postseason play, with seemingly a different player being the hero each night. BG boasts an offense that can go 12 deep and a pitching staff with at least five arms capable of contributing. “The fact that there’s not one or two standouts, that there is such equality up and down the line, that’s what makes it such an effective team,” Kelley said. “They know that there is not pressure on anyone to come through every night, and that each of them are capable of making a difference.” Kelley said the depth makes it tough to fill out a lineup card, but it also makes it tough for opponents trying to scout his team. “St. Matthews (which BG East defeated twice in Louisville) had charted every one of our games in the state tournament,” Kelley said. “In the finals Christopher McDaniels, who was hitting in the nine spot, laced a double that bounced off the wall and I heard one the coaches over there, he was shaking his head and he said, ‘That was the No. 9 batter.’ You can’t focus on one person. It does make it difficult for anyone to be able to scout us and have a preconceived game plan.” BG East practiced Thursday and Friday, but has taken the weekend off before resuming practice Monday. The team leaves for Indianapolis on Wednesday morning and opens up play Saturday against the Illinois winner. While the competition will be tough, Kelley believes his team will feed off experience from winning back-to-back state titles. “I think the experience helps a lot,” Kelley said. “Most of the teams are in the same situation - that this is the first time they’ve been to the regional and it’s a new environment as well. I think the competition we’ve had and the closeness of some of our games has made us tournament-ready. We have as good of a shot as anyone else.” Some players were already talking about Williamsport following Wednesday’s win, but Kelley doesn’t believe his team will look ahead once the Great Lakes Regional begins. “I think they are very focused and understand that the level of competition is only going to get better and better,” Kelley said. “They’re giving us everything they got and they are playing with the team concept. That is all you can ask for at this level. Whether they win or lose at this level is irrelevant. This is an experience in their life that they will never forget. They are one of only 50 teams left, and they have a lot to be proud of.” |
| Kelley won’t be suspended Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:54 -0500 As Bowling Green East’s 11- and 12-year-old team prepares for this week’s Little League Great Lakes Regional, the squad had a possible distraction resolved on Friday. A protest filed by Louisville’s St. Matthews - the team BG East defeated in Wednesday’s Little League state championship game - was overturned by Little League officials in Indianapolis. That means East coach Rick Kelley, who could have been suspended for the first two games of the Great Lakes Regional if the protest had been upheld, will not miss a game. St. Matthews coach David Walker argued after Wednesday’s game that BG East player Robbie Guthrie didn’t have an at-bat. But BG East provided video evidence that showed Guthrie batting in the fifth inning. Little League rules require every player to either bat at least once in a game or to play three innings in the field. Walker saw the video evidence of Guthrie’s plate appearance on Wednesday, and he said after the game that he was satisfied with the decision to allow BG East to keep the state championship. But because the protest was filed, Kelley was still obligated to present his case to Little League officials. Kelley said he’s glad the ruling is complete and his team can move forward. “It was a huge distraction,” Kelley said. “We knew we had done nothing wrong. The video substantiated that - the (St. Matthews) coach and tournament director agreed. It was just a process that Little League had to go through, since a protest was actually filed.” |
| State crown for BG’s Fields Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:54 -0500 Immediately after getting a good start, Paige Fields knew she was going to be a state champion. Fields captured state honors in the 9-10-year-old age division of the 50-meter breaststroke in Friday’s portion of the Kentucky State “A” Long Course Championships in Elizabethtown. Fields’ time of 38.62 beat second-place Jodie Llanora by 0.6 seconds. Llanora had the best time in Friday’s preliminaries, but Fields was confident from the beginning. “It’s basically your start,” said Fields, a 10-year-old who will soon enter fifth grade at Potter Gray Elementary. “I had a really good start in pullout. I raced through the whole way and I wouldn’t give up. That won me a breaststroke.” “I was very confident.” And after the start, all Fields could hear was plenty of cheering. “I hear my coach Dee (Wilkins) yelling, and everybody else screaming,” Fields said. “It’s very loud. And it was exciting.” Fields’ time was also the fifth-fastest 10-year-old time in the nation this year. Her day also included a second-place finish in the 100-meter freestyle and third-place result in the 50-yard butterfly. Fields is a member of the Southern Kentucky Swim Club; other members performing well on Friday included Lauren Walker, who took fourth in the 50-yard breaststroke; Harrison Griffin, who captured second in the 100-yard butterfly; and Cory Hall, who placed third in the 100-yard butterfly and fifth in the 400-yard individual medley. For Fields and others in the Southern Kentucky Swim Club, Friday was only the beginning of a long weekend. On Saturday, Fields qualified second in the 200-yard freestyle, fourth in the 50-yard backstroke and third in 100-yard butterfly. Finals were scheduled for Saturday night at the Elizabethtown Swim and Fitness Center (results were not available by presstime). The 200-yard individual medley, 100-yard breaststroke and 50-yard freestyle were on Fields’ plate today. Although she won in the breaststroke, Fields said the 50-yard freestyle is her best event “Oh, I’ll be sore,” Fields joked. “It’s a really long weekend for me.” But Fields, who began swimming when she was 4, is used to it. Practice during the summer takes place from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. each weekday morning. “It’s all hard work,” Fields said. “You have to train hard at practice every morning. I swim for the enjoyment of it. I like competing, going to big meets, competing for high-point, cheering for my teammates doing relays.” |
| Pruden wins heat, falls in 2nd round at Soap Box Derby Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:55 -0500 For the third consecutive year, Jordan Pruden won a heat in the national All-American Soap Box Derby before seeing his run end in the second round on Saturday in Akron, Ohio. The 12-year-old Pruden won his heat in the Super Stock Division with a time of 29.41, outlasting Colin Gaffey and Caitlyn Powers. Only winners of heats move on. Pruden couldn’t beat Abbey Corbett’s time of 29.46 in the second round. Brother and sister Lucas and Sydney Leach saw their first national soap box experience end in the first round of the Super Stock Rally Division. Lucas, 14, was defeated by Tyler Silifies and his time of 29.51. Sydney’s heat was won by Rileigh Champagne with a time of 29.39. Like the Leach siblings, Kyle Martens was also making his first trip to Akron. His run also ended in the first round of the Stock Division. Morgan Champagne clocked in at 29.53 to win his heat. Results for the Ultimate Speed Division, which included Casey Pruden, were not available at presstime. |
| Former Topper Hamilton happy for second chance in NFL Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:55 -0500 After Curtis Hamilton’s first National Football League experience didn’t end exactly the way he wanted, the only thing the former Western Kentucky wide receiver was looking for was a second chance. On Friday, he got one. The New Orleans Saints claimed Hamilton off the NFL waiver wire Friday, giving him another shot at making a dream come true. “Anytime you get a second opportunity, it’s great,” Hamilton said. “I had a workout for them right after I got cut by the (Chicago) Bears, and they gave me a look and everything fell into place. “And I got a second chance.” After Hamilton went undrafted in April’s NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears signed him to a rookie free agent deal later in the month. But Hamilton didn’t make it through the first official mini-camp and was subsequently released. Hamilton pointed to inexperience and not really knowing what he was getting into as a reason for his release with the Bears - something he doesn’t intend to let happen this time around. “Going in as a rookie with the Bears, I really didn’t know what to expect, it was a little different,” Hamilton said. “Now that I know what to expect and know what I’m getting into, I can relax and settle down and just play ball. “It was my first day (Saturday), and everything’s come on real fast, but not as fast as it was when I was up in Chicago.” Shortly after the Bears released him, Hamilton was invited to work out with the Saints. And after several weeks without hearing a word, he was called this past Friday - two days after New Orleans’ training camp kicked off - and given the chance to attend camp. “This was the only team he worked out with; they obviously waited for a while, but they decided to bring him into camp,” Hamilton’s agent Nate Haber said. “They started camp before they brought him in, I believe one of their players failed a physical, but I’m not exactly sure on that. “But they obviously had a spot open up and they decided to bring him in.” With one official day of practice under his belt, Hamilton said everything felt fine. But he still knows that there is a lot of work left to be done. “I’ve got a long way to go,” Hamilton said. “It went OK, I’ve been out for a good two months and I did OK, but I’ve got a long way to go. I’m just looking to get these plays down and just play ball. “Anything I can do, I’m going to do. That’s the way I have to approach it. There’s only a limited amount of spots to be had, and anything they need me to do, I’ll do.” And while Hamilton said he went through a pretty rocky period of not knowing where he would be, or if he would be anywhere at all, some of that pressure has been relieved. And this time around, Hamilton expects to end things a little differently. “Anybody’s natural feeling will be to be kind of worried when you don’t get a call with camps starting,” he said. “But I kept working out, kept praying to God and kept God first. “And he gave me a second chance, and that’s all I needed. It kind of took the burden off me, and I’m going to take full advantage of it.” |
| Lawrence and Gooch move Blast into semis Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:56 -0500 The Kentucky Blast girls 14-and-under AAU basketball team has advanced to the semifinals of the national tournament. The Blast (37-3 overall, 8-0 tournament) earned a pair of wins Saturday to put themselves in the final four of a tournament that featured 57 teams from across the country. In Game 1, Franklin-Simpson’s Chastity Gooch finished with 14 points, eight rebounds and six assists to lead the Blast to a 64-46 win over the Missouri Valley Blazers. Bowling Green’s Alexis Lawrence finished with 12 points, with all four field goals coming on 3-pointers. The second game saw Gooch finish with 17 points, 10 rebounds and four assists to lead the Blast to a 74-52 win over the North Carolina Royals. Calloway County’s Avery Fields added 15 points and five rebounds. The Blast are now scheduled to face off with the South Carolina 76ers at 9 a.m. today in the tournament semifinals. If they win, they will advance to the tournament final - which is set for 1 p.m. at Austin Peay State The Blast upset the overall top seed and defending national champion Oklahoma Blue Angels 47-43 on Friday to move into the final 16 of the national tournament in Clarksville, Tenn. The Blast (35-3 overall) trailed Oklahoma by nine points with three minutes to go but closed the game on a 13-0 run. Gooch paced the Blast with 15 points and five rebounds, while Micah Jones and Avery Fields each contributed nine points. On Thursday, the Blast completed pool play with a 5-0 mark after knocking off the Maryland Lady Tigers 80-41 and Cincinnati’s Finest Lady Ballers 45-40. Zoe Sibalich paced Kentucky against Maryland with 19 points, while Lawrence had 13 points. Against Cincinnati, Gooch posted 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Field had 10. |
| Outdoors: QDMA unites deer hunters Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:23:56 -0500 Not everyone has the same ideas when it comes to quality. If they did, there would only be one brand of luxury car, one supplier of champagne, a solitary maker of high-end wristwatches. Still, despite the subtle differences between a Tag-Huer and a Rolex or a Jaguar and Mercedes, they do share recognizable similarities. The same holds true for those who have a mental image of what comprises a “quality” deer herd. Though one person might envision a big buck parading through a driving snowstorm when asked what his definition of quality deer is, another will surely dream of a summer hayfield teeming with red-coated does, shadowed by healthy spotted fawns. Both of these ideas share a common thread, one that’s united more than 50,000 men, women and children to join the Quality Deer Management Association in order to learn more about how they can improve and maintain the quality of the deer they treasure so much. Despite having known about the organization for more than a decade, until recently I was unaware of our own southcentral Kentucky chapter based out of Franklin. I met with some of the committee members to learn more about the rapidly growing group, and, of course, found myself surrounded by other whitetail fanatics. “Everyone that hunts is a wildlife manager to a certain extent,” said Tom Goodhue, a longtime member. “We’re making information available and accommodating people to do what they want. That’s our goal, and we’ve been really successful.” By utilizing tools such as Quality Whitetails - the science-based publication sent to members - local management workshops and its own television show, QDMA has filled the educational gap that many sportsmen have been seeking since deer hunting has evolved from a two-week-a-year pastime into a way of life. Branch secretary Jeff Harvey hit the nail on the head. “That is one of the reasons (QDMA) has worked, because people started doing food plots and other stuff and they got into it and realized that they didn’t really know what they should do or what they were trying to accomplish,” he said. With a fraternity of like-minded individuals and a continually expanding resource of information available to those thirsting for guidance and information, QDMA members can find the assistance they need when tackling new projects or improving their harvests. There are around 200 branches scattered throughout the United States, with membership dollars funding cutting-edge research, youth programs and other events. But more importantly, a minimum of 30 percent of a chapter’s funds stay local so that the members are responsible for the allocation of their earnings. Last week, the southcentral Kentucky chapter generously donated $500 to the Logan County Archery Team so that the high school participants would have enough backstops and targets to allow for at least twice as many shooters. Meanwhile, the local chapter’s banquet is right around the corner and the group is looking to expand through new membership. “We’re trying to get more members from surrounding counties, especially Warren and Logan,” Todd Moody said. “Our goal is to eventually move our banquet to Bowling Green and keep this branch growing.” The upcoming banquet will be at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Franklin-Simpson Community Park. Tickets for the banquet and national membership are $40 for a single and $55 per couple. For more information regarding the organization or the banquet, call Todd Moody at 776-0701 or Steve Farmer at 776-1142. — Geordon T. Howell is outdoors columnist for the Daily News.

It was a conservative look for a big personality like Lyons, so thoughts started running through your head. Perhaps football coach Rich Brooks and the University of Kentucky media relations staff gave Lyons a tranquilizer on the way down, or maybe Lyons' inner Dr. Jekyll had taken over. Then Lyons opened his jacket. He had on a Bugs Bunny tie. It was refreshing, because the media who covered Lyons at Southeastern Conference Media Days in Hoover, Ala., last week would rather the UK wide receiver not alter his zany persona one bit. .It's actually my uncle's,.
