Her final team lost to Pulaski County in the region finals in 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a freshman, her two free throws in the final seconds of the 1977 Kentucky High School State Tournament gave Laurel County its first state title. She was named to the All-American First Team by Parade Magazine in 1980. She finished with 1,840 career points, 385 assists, and 401 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After high school, she&nbsp;played for&nbsp;the University of Kentucky where she graduated in 1984. She was inducted into the first class of the Laurel County Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe last time we talked was when she was inducted into the Hall of Fame,\u201d Bowling said in April. \u201cShe looked like she could play right then. It was great to see her. She was a fantastic high school (player) and started at the University of Kentucky for four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo doubt that she was one of the best to come out of Laurel County,\u201d He added. \u201cShe is the only player that was Miss Basketball here. She was a fantastic kid and a strong competitor. She liked to win and played to win. Never had any trouble with her and I had her for seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLisa was such a special player for Laurel County, and the University of Kentucky,\u201d South Laurel coach Chris Souder added. \u201cBefore the beginning of the final game, we will be dedicating a permanent plaque in her honor and would welcome any team to stay for the unveiling. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLisa was Miss Basketball in 1980, winning three KHSAA State Championships during her Laurel County career,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe the then took her talents to UK where she was a four-year starter and they won the 1982 SEC Championship, something that had not been done again until this past season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are just trying to make sure all her accomplishments are celebrated and permanently recognized,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The games will tip-off at 11 a.m. at South Laurel High School. Scheduled games are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11 a.m. \u2014 Boyle County vs. Pineville; 1 p.m. \u2014 Danville vs. Paintsville; 3 p.m. \u2014 Mercer County vs. Letcher County Central; 5 p.m. \u2014 South Laurel vs. Pulaski County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
