Jeff Sheppard couldn’t be happier right now.
Take away everything he’s accomplished on the basketball court and throughout his professional career, and the 1998 NCAA Tournament’s Most Oustanding Player is enjoying his life to the fullest for one simple reason: his two children are having fun. But not only are they having fun, Reed and Madison Sheppard are excelling in the same sport that both of their parents became legendary for.
Madison is a soon-to-be senior on the Campbellsville Women’s Basketball Team and coming off a career-best junior season campaign. Reed, a 17-year-old at North Laurel High School, just picked up an offer from his parents’ alma mater, the University of Kentucky, and a slew of other big-name Power 5 programs after an outstanding weekend of AAU basketball in Birmingham, Alabama.
