1978 National Team donating shoes to Eastern Kentucky basketball team

We’ve shared plenty of heartwarming stories this week about Kentuckians giving back to those impacted by the floods in the eastern part of the state. Here’s another one.

On this morning’s radio show, Matt Jones shared that the Fleming-Neon Middle School girls basketball team was in need of practice shoes because the flood destroyed theirs and many families could not afford to replace them. Immediately, some of the Big Blue Nation’s most beloved members stepped up to help. Jack “Goose” Givens contacted Matt and said that he and the 1978 National Championship team will purchase new shoes for the team.
