LOGAN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
1984
Fred Tisdale led the Logan County Cougars to the 1984 state boys’ basketball championship and was named to the All-State Tournament team that year. For the tournament, Tisdale scored 103 points in four games, averaging 25.7 points a game. He was runner-up for Kentucky’s Mr. Basketball to Henry Clay’s Steve Miller. That didn’t bother Tisdale because he earned an honor that he seemed to cherish more when he was chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the 1984 State Tournament. He was a member of the Kentucky All-Stars who played against Indiana. For his Auburn and Logan teams, Tisdale scored 2,223 points, led the team in field goal percentage (62.9) and rebounding (11) helping his Auburn and Logan teams to a 107-22 record. He was named one of the 50 greatest players in state tournament history and was First Team All-State three consecutive years. Tisdale went on to play for Coach Clem Haskins’ Western Kentucky University teams.
