M. Basketball. WKU Greats Entering Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Four former WKU athletes will be honored for their high school basketball accomplishments this weekend, when they will be inducted into the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame.

Former Hilltopper basketball standouts Dwight Smith, Jim Rose, Gene Rhodes and Harry Todd will be inducted in the hall of fame’s fifth class during a ceremony Saturday at the Historic State Theatre in Elizabethtown.

Smith and Rose will be inducted posthumously.

Smith, a Princeton native, led Dotson High School to the state tournament in 1963 and made the all-tourney team with another future WKU great, Clem Haskins.
