PCHS Honors Stephen

On December 9, 2008, the Pendleton County Wildcats honored the memory of Stephen by presenting his senior jersey #15 to his parents. Coach Chad Simms, Stephen's former assistant coach, spoke a few words and the senior wildcats carried his jersey to center court. Senior Timmy Cooper wore a similar #15 jersey in memory of Stephen for the evening



Upon returning to Kentucky for his senior year, Stephen committed himself to one sport--basketball and played for Coach Buddy Biggs. He was the lone senior on the squad. When districts rolled around, he helped lead his team to the 10th region tournament. Stephen was selected after the season as the recipient of the treasured "Larry Price Hustle Award", the same honor his father had received twenty-five years earlier. Two years later, Stephen's brother, Jon, would be honored with the same award at the end of his junior and senior years.



The jersey was given back to the school so that it may hang in the gym.
