Voice of the Hills

People in rural mountains of southeastern Kentucky are avid about their spectator sports, especially basketball and football. A modern example: #2 Tim Couch, who was star football player in his hometown of Hyden over in Leslie County who is now playing pro football with the Cleveland Browns. By many accounts, Tim Couch played superior ball to rival Peyton Manning from the University of Tennessee as quarterback for University of Kentucky Wildcats. Thus, my playing varsity basketball (although not as popular as football) for the Evarts Wildcats at the local high school had its advantages.
