Thanks Leroy
Dear Sir:
We'd like to say thanks to Leroy Byrd. To guys who arc short he is a big inspiration. He really excites the crowd when he's in. More importantly, we got the chance to meet him one year ago in Pincvillc after a Blue-White game. He really took the time to talk to us and was extremely courteous. He is first class all the way.
Go Big Blue. Keep up the great work Coach Sutton! Give us fans in Big Orange country a great present- whip Tennessee.
Sincerely
Mike Murphy Matt Murphy Oak Ridge. TN
Kenny A Model
Dear Sir:
My family lives in North Carolina, surrounded by ACC fans, but we are from Lexington and have always been UK basketball fans. The morning after the UK/NC State game the local papers had a field day. One columnist writing in the Winston-Salem Journal did a column entitled. '"Trashing of Kentucky" But in this article the following comments were made by NC State player Ernie Myers in regard to Kenny Walker:
" He didn't complain to the refs. He gets the ball and goes hard. He dunked in one time and it wasn't real. It was so hard, I thought. "Oh God, can he dunk."
Banging on him kind of wore me out. I tried to stay in front of him without fouling all the time. You can feel how strong he is by bumping up into him. He should be a great pro player. He has all the tools. He didn't get mad at me. He was a gentleman. We spoke at the beginning of the game and at the end of the game..."
"^Jcould point out to my young son that sure, we lost this one, but listen to this. Isn't it wonderful that today's children can have a role model like Kenny Walker.
Sincerely,
Debra Reynolds Perri Boone, NC

			SEC	NOTES		
* Auburn's Chuck Person scored a career high 40 points Saturday night in lifting the Tigers to a 79-65 victory over Vanderbilt, ensuring Sonny Smith's squad the second-seed in this week's SEC Tournament. Person, twice the runnerup in
scoring in the SEC, trails Tennessee's Tony wTilte entering the tourney. In 1984, Georgia's Vern Fleming nipped Person for the scoring title, then last year it was Kentucky's Kenny Walker taking the scoring honors. Points scored in tournament action do count in NCAA and SEC statistics.
* Vanderbilt set a Southeastern Conference record last week when the Commodores hit 35 of 36 free throws (97.ZZ) in a 77-65 win over Miss. State. Previously, the record was held by Auburn, which hit 27 of 28 (96.4X) versus Alabama back in 1960;  ironically, Vandy,  traditionally one of the nation's best free throw shooting teams, was hitting only 68.7%, eighth best in the SEC, going into the MSU contest.
* Florida's Andrew Moten, leading the Gators to a pair of SEC wins, had one of the best weeks of his career when he scored 32 vs. Alabama and 31 vs. Miss. State.
* Kentucky's 17-1 SEC record ties for the all-time conference best since the double round-robin was established 20 seasons ago. Adolph Rupp's 1970 squad,  led by Dan Issel,  finished the conference season with a 17-1 mark, as did Dale D. Brown's 1981 LSU team, a squad which fought its way to the Final Four.
