The 41-year-old Harrell is a native of Pike County and holds a bachelor's degree from Kentucky Wes leyan College and a master's degree from the Univer sity of Kentucky. He began his coachlng career at Belfry High School in 1952 and moved to Berea High School in 1954. From 1956 to 1960 he was director of campus activities at the Methodjst Home in Ver sailles and returned to coaching in 1960 when he took the Shelby County job. "Coach Harrell is one of the finest young basket ball minds in the game today and meets every criteria we es tablished when we began our search for a new head basketball coach," said Dr. Roscoe Playforth, chafrman of the faculty committee on athletics, when the appointment was announced. "With the fine basketball trailition which More head Stale University has established, I am indeed very forL1mate to have the opportunity to accept trus most challenging position," was Harrell's reply.

EAGLE OUTLOOK Head Baskelhall Coach Bi ll D. Harrell faces a major rebuilding job in his first year at the Morehead State helm. Gone from last season's Ohio Vall ey Conference co-ohampions arc three slartcrs- forward Lamar Green, center Willie J aekson and guard J erry Conley- and Lhe lo p Lwo reserves- guards Danny Cornett and Randy Williams. Harrell inherited two senior regulars-6-2 guard Bobby Hiles and 6-3 forward Ron Gathright-and five reserves, in cluding two who saw very limited action. But he also has three newcomers- 6-9 center Lavon Mann, 6-2 guard Jerry King and 6-1 guard Eddie Conley. All are sophomores. Mann, a transfer from Somerset Communit-y Col lege, averaged 18 points and 27 rebounds last year. King, a four-year veteran of service basketball, was an All-Navy selection and averaged alm ost 24 points per game. Conley, younger bro ther of last year's AII-OVC guard, had a 20-point average for the MSU frosh.
10 Hile , tlw fl oor leader 011 last year's Learn which finished 18-9 and 11-3 in the OVC, sco red almost 10 points per game. Catltrigltt, who
THE PLAYERS Bobby Hiles, Guard As one o f two returning regulars, Bo hby will be counted on heavily this season. The 6-2, 200-pound seni or play maker is the Learn 's (J oor lc,11lcr and has been chosen as co-<'aplain o f the 1969-70 Eagles. He averaged 9.5 points per game lasl ~cason and led the team in assists. Bobby, a Lra1 1:' f('[ Cro m the University of Ken tucky, was an All-S tale ~cleelio n at Maysvill e High clt ool. I k is an cxecl len L o u Lside shot.
Ron Gathright, Forward This 6-3 senior was " Mr. Dependa bility" lasl season with his steady game- by-ga me co ntributions of 12.7 points and l 0.5 rebounds. He is the o ther rclurning starter and shares the team captaincy with Hiles. Ron is a rugged rebounder who, despite his lack of height, will be invaluable under Lhe baske t. Thr- former All-S tate p erfo rmer at Lo uisvill e Thomas J efferson is cool under pressure and has fine defensive rnovcs.
11 Lavon Mann, Center
This 6-9, 235-pound pivot man has been touted as o ne of the replacements. for last year's " dyna mic duo "- Lamar Green and Willie J ackson. Lavon is a sophomore transfer from Somerset Community College who averaged 18 points and 27 rebounds last year. A na tive of Dayton, Ohio, he was an A ll-City selection at Dayton Dunbar. Despite an operation early this fall , Mann figures Lo be a key man in the Eagle fortunes this season. He ha~ good moves near the basket.
Don Byars, Forward-Guard A key reserve for the past two seasons, Don may break into the starting lineup in this, his senior campaign. A 6-3 forward or guard with better - than - average jumping ability, he is a good shot and han dles the ball with poise. Don was a at Bourbon County High School. He aver aged 2.7 points per game last year while seeing light duty in 23 games. Coach Harrell has been impressed by his altitude. Don will be a contender for a starting slot at either position. Jerry King, Guard This 6-2 sharpshooter fresh out of the Marine Corps may be the key to a winning season for the· re building Eagles. J crry was All-Navy a nd averaged 24 points in his last season o{ service ball. He was an All Stale selection al Mason County High School where he re wrote most of the scoring records. J erry's Marine Corps service included a year in Vietnam . Jim Day, Center-Forward Morehead State's basketball fans would like for this season lo be the time of realized potential for Jim Day, the 6-8 center-forward who left Ashland Fairview High School after winning all-district, all-regional and All-State honors. Jim is a junior
,t 1\ whose lack of aggressiveness kept him on the bench in all but 10 games last year. He is quick for his size and may compete for a starting job this year.
Eddie Conley, Guard If this 6-1 sophomore equals the performances of his older brother, Jerry, he will have a great career al MSU. The second Conley from J en kins brings good freshman creden tials to the varsity. He averaged more than 20 points per game as 1( the onl y scholarshi p player on a sub-par team. Eddie is a good shooter who won All State mention in high school. He may win a starting position. Jerry Hueseman, Forward Although troubled in pre-season by recurring knee problems, this 6-6 junior from DiUsboro, Ind., may be the best of the returning reserves. He played in 21 games last season and had flashes of exceUence sev eral times in critical situations. A freshman star two seasons ago, Jerry is a hustling, determined corner man. He may crack the starting lineup if his knee cooperates. Jerry U mherger, Forward An off-season di et and an exer cise plan trimmed almost 30 pounds off this 6-5 senjor and he reported for fall practice in the best condi tion of his coll ege career. Jerry hopes Lo be a frontliner this season and can supply strong rebounding abili ty. He has experience and good basketball savvy. The Ashland Paul Blazer High School product may push the tartcrs.
13 Terry Sandfoss, Guard The yo·unger brother o f former Eagle tar J ir'n and foss, Terry is a good ball handler whose ability has nol overcome his lack o f size (5-9). The senior ballhawk appeared in eight games last year. He starred at , Newport Catholic High School. Mike Guiler, Forward This 6 • 4 forward from Bath Co unty High School was a non scholarship player on last season's freshman team and is trying to earn a varsity spot as a walk-on candi date. He im pressed the coaches in pre-seaso n workouts with his hustle and determination. Alan Harney, Forward A L 6-6 and 210 pounds, Harney is a strong, rugged competitor who has not reached his potential. An AU • State forward at Bourbon County High . c hool, he has seen very liLLl c artion in two varsity season. . John Sewell, Guard De. pile being the tallest and heaviest guard on the team, Sl:well ha nol developed in Lo a first string performer. A good passer and play maker, the 6-4, 200-pound product of George Rogers Clark High School at Winchester will be used as a spot man at guard and forward.
14 .. "Hobo" Joins MSU's 1,000-Point Chm Willie (Hobo) Jackson, the 6-7 ace from Birming ham, Ala., joined select company when he finished his senior basketball season last winter. His 456 points for 27 games in 1968-69 gave him a career total of l ,049 which is good for seventh place on the MSU all-time scoring list. He moved around Warren Cooper who had l ,0ll points for the 1943-45 period. Jackson's other season totals were273 in 1967-68 when a knee injury slowed him and 320 in 1966-67, his brilliant sophomore year. Other members of the 1,000-Point Club are Dan Swartz, Sonny Allen, Steve Hamilton, Granny Wil liams, Harold Sergent and Earl Duncan. Individual totals include: Player Yrs. Seasons Games Pts. Avg.

Leaping Lamar Now in the NBA Lamar Green, the other 6-7 wizard from Birming ham who sparked last season's championship team, has moved into the ranks of professional basketball. He was signed last spring to a three-year, "no cut" contract by the Phoenix Suns of the National Basket ball Association. ... The nation's third leading majo_r college rebounder and a scoring threat to boot, Lamar has a bright future on the play-for pay hardwood, according to his coaches.

The game was close in the early going but the determined Eagles pull ed oul a 77-67 win and the conference was deadlocked for the sixth tim e in his tory.
