From L-R: Coach Kay Don VanMeter, Amel Tarrence, Bobby Basham, Glen Meredith, Johnny Pete Vincent, Charles Hayes, and Billy Joe Meredith.

Darren Doyle, story:
We love having conversations about days gone by in Edmonson County and we recently sat down with longtime EC educator and administrator Johnny Pete Vincent about some of those days.

Vincent, a member of the Edmonson County Hall of Distinguished Alumni and the Edmonson County Athletics Hall of Fame, served as principal of ECHS in 1976, which was the year of the Wildcats' state championship win. He was also a gifted athlete, playing both basketball and baseball, and once scored 50 points in a single game for Kyrock High School.
