Old film sends writer down memory lane

sporst@hclocal.com

Earlier this winter I got the opportunity to take an old reel-to-reel film of one of my high school basketball games to a local drug store to have it sent off and copied to a DVD. My high school basketball coach Rick Schepman, who had several of the old films from his time as head coach at Henry County, gave me this opportunity.

Schepman, who is now associate head coach at Henry County, gave me a box of the films a while back and I kept forgetting to take the one featuring a game with Eminence in my senior year and getting it converted.

Help Kentucky's hungry and Kentucky's farmers
