Cecil Tuttle was the eldest of four Tuttle brothers who played for the Hazel Green Bullfrogs. The Tuttle basketball family is one of Kentucky’s great basketball stories. Cecil was a three year starter and led the “Frogs” to three consecutive district titles in 1957, 1958 and 1959. In 1959, Hazel Green High School, with Cecil Tuttle leading the way, was 12″ regional tournament runner-up to eventual KHSAA Sweet 16
runner-up, Monticello. He scored over 1,000 career points and averaged 22 points per game his senior year. In 1960, he was selected to play in the Kentucky East-West All-Star Game. Cecil Tuttle was inducted into the 12″ Region High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008. He earned a scholarship to Georgetown College where he had a great career and was twice selected as NAIA All-American. Cecil
Tuttle is semi-retired and fives in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.
