Hart, basketball legend, dies at 70
George Hart, a legendary basketball player at Frances High School in the late 1940s, died Friday, Feb. 2 at Livingston Hospital. He was 70.

Hart, who played for the Frances Bulldogs from 1946-50, drew national acclaim as a senior ball player when he broke Wah Wah Jones' high school scoring record of 2,398 points. Hart went on to score 2,604 points during his career, which to this day remains 45th on the Kentucky all-time scoring list.

Many who saw him, say Hart would have scored hundreds more points had he played when the 3-point shot was in effect.

Hart worked for 33 years and retired from U.S. Steel in Gary, Ind. He was a Marine veteran and member of the Princeton Veterans of Foreign Wars post. A Kentucky Colonel, Hart was inducted into the Crittenden County Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997 in the sports shrine's first class.

Surviving are his wife, Pat C. Hart; one son, Robert Hart of Marion; and one sister, Joann Ulsas of Sun City, Ariz. His parents were George and Lola Hart.

Funeral services were Sunday at Gilbert Funeral Home with Rev. Donnie Howton officiating. Burial was at Frances Cemetery.

As a senior basketball player Hart he was named to the Louisville Courier-Journal All High School team and was Honorable Mention All-American. When Frances played basketball, it usually had to transfer games to larger gymnasiums because of the crowds that would assemble to watch Hart perform. Scoring 30 or more points in a game was common for the "big bulldog." He was in range after crossing mid-court, some of his opponents remembered.

In the 1948 Second Region championship game, Hart and his Frances Bulldogs played Madisonville in a typical David and Goliath showdown. Madisonville was led by Frank Ramsey, who went on to play at Kentucky and for the Boston Celtics. Hart fouled out in the third quarter and Madisonville won 48-38.

Legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp signed Hart to play basketball for the Wildcats, but Hart admitted in his later years that he was more interested in the nightlife and girls and eventually fell out of Rupp's grace. He told The Crittenden Press in a 1999 interview that he never regretted the choices he made in life, including his decision to leave Lexington as a freshman. I "enjoyed life to the fullest," he said.
