The Lexington Herald-Leader invited me to vote in its annual poll of the media, deciding who was the most influential newsmaker in The Commonwealth in the last 12 months. I’m honored to be included. It’s a perk of the job I do not take lightly. What I do for a living is a privilege and I know thousands would gladly trade places with me. I get it. That said, this is an opinion situation and I realize others see this differently. So here’s my best shot at 2011. My top 3 picks are below. The newspaper announces the winner shortly.
3) John Calipari (leads UK Basketball to an unlikely Final 4)
2) Scott Davenport (leads Bellarmine Basketball to a first-ever Div. 2 National Title)
1) Bob Beatty (leads Trinity Football to a mythical national championship in 4 polls)
