Kevin Murphy 201 FIVE-GAME STREAK Tennessee Tech has won the last five games in its series against UT Martin and holds a 32-11 overall edge in the series. Recently, the series between the two in-state rivals has been a streaky one. Prior to the Golden Eagles’ five-game winning streak, which began in 2009-10, the Skyhawks had taken four consecutive games in the series. In the last six games, the Golden Eagles hold a 6-4 record against UTM. The Cougars were guided by a quartet of players in their victory, including Kris Davis, who posted 19 points as he proved to be a dangerous outside presence going 5-of-6 from three point land. Jerome Jones notched a team-high 20 points, while bring down seven rebounds. ON TO THE SEMIS NO. 1 x 5 Jud Dillard recorded his fourth doubledouble on the season while Kevin Murphy put his ninth 20-plus-point performance of the season in the books to lead the Golden Eagles to an 83-59 victory over the Skyhawks in the quarterfinal round of the OVC Tournament on March 3, 2011. The Golden Eagles opened the floodgates in the second period of play, starting off with an 18-5 run over the first seven-anda-half minutes of the game to notch their largest lead at 25 points with a score of 56-31 with 12:36 left in the game. Martin was only able to close the lead to 15 after that, as Tech continued to dominate in the paint, outscoring UTM 26-8 on the inside in the second half. Murphy netted 14 second-half points for a grand total of 24 on the game to lead the Golden Eagles, while Dillard put up nine points and nine rebounds in the second period. LAST TIME OUT 8.1 5.4 4.3 4.0 2.8 3.2 2.8 3.1 6.2 5.2 1.8 felt adding 16 points, 12 of which came in the second half. Senior Zac Swansey tallied 10 points to go along with his seven helpers and five rebounds. UPSET ALERT SIU Edwardsville shot 51 percent from the field to beat Tennessee Tech in the Cougars’ first-ever Ohio Valley Conference game Thursday night in Edwardsville. TTU fell to 0-1 in the conference as SIUE won 83-68. Tech managed to trim an 11-point first half deficit to six with just 5:25 left in regulation behind some solid shooting from the line from several Golden Eagles. Junior Jud Dillard notched a game-high 24 points and finished just one board shy of his fourth double-double of the season with nine. Senior Zach Bailey also made his presence OPENING TIP A Tennessee Tech player leads the OVC in four individual statistical categories -- Kevin Murphy in scoring (18.9), Jud Dillard in rebounding (8.6) and Zac Swansey in assists (5.7) and steals (2.6). THE STREAK ENDS... Kevin Murphy went without a three-pointer against SIU Edwardsville, ending his streak of 18 consecutive games with a made three-point basket. The streak began last season against Jacksonville State on Feb. 26 and featured a four three-pointer night for Murphy against Morehead State in the OVC Championship game. During the streak, Murphy went 35-for-83 from long range for a percentage of .422. A STEADY LINEUP After using four different starting lineups over their first seven games this season, the Golden Eagles have now used the same starting five for eight straight games, consisting of Zac Swansey, Kevin Murphy, Jud Dillard, Dennis Ogbe and Terrell Barnes. At least one early variation of Tech’s lineup has been due to injury -- Barnes has started every game after missing the first two due to a foot injury. Only two Golden Eagles -- Swansey and Dillard -- have started every game on the season. Eight different players, including Liam McMorrow, Bassey Inameti and Zach Bailey, have also earned starts. ALONE AT THE TOP A go-to scorer throughout his career, Kevin Murphy has upped the ante so far in his senior season. The OVC Preseason Player of the Year is leading the conference in scoring, averaging 18.9 points per contest, and ranks 15th in NCAA Division I. He has reached double-figures in 12 of 14 games, and has scored 20-plus points on seven occasions, most recently scoring 22 points in a 67-59 win over Bethune-Cookman. He 2011-12 GOLDEN EAGLE BASKETBALL STRONGER THAN EVER tied his career-high with 31 points against Wilberforce on Nov. 27. on Dec. 3 and played at West Virginia (Big East) on Dec. 19. JUD JUMPS TO THE TOP The Golden Eagles will play 11 games this season against squads who participated in the postseason a year ago. That list includes Miami (NIT), Duquesne (CBI), East Tennessee State (CIT), Evansville (CBI), West Virginia (NCAA), Bethune-Cookman (NIT), Morehead State (NCAA), Murray State (NIT) and Austin Peay (CBI). The Golden Eagles will face OVC foes Morehead State and Murray State twice. On the heels of an offseason in which he focused intently on adding strength, Jud Dillard is seeing his hard work pay off in the form of some impressive rebounding numbers this season. Dillard is the OVC’s leading rebounder, pulling down 8.6 boards per contest, a nearly three-rebound improvement over his 2010-11 average. Dillard has posted three double-figure rebound performances, grabbing 12 at West Virginia, 15 at High Point and 11 at Appalachian State. ZAC ATTACK! Point guard Zac Swansey is putting up big numbers on both offense and defense for the Golden Eagles this season. One of the most prolific distributors in Tech history, Swansey is once again at the top of the OVC in assists after leading the league a season ago, and he ranks 40th in NCAA Division I, dishing out an average of 5.7 helpers per game. Swansey has finished with at least six assists in eight of Tech’s last nine games and has one double-figure assist outing -- he distributed 10 against Kennesaw State on Dec. 22. Swansey is also one of the nation’s leaders in steals so far this season, averaging 2.6 thefts per game. He tied a career-high by capturing six steals against Wilberforce and also snatched five against Reinhardt. Swansey ranks 16th in steals in NCAA Division I and leads the OVC in the category. Swansey is looking to lead the OVC in both assists and steals in back-to-back seasons. He would be the first Tech player to lead the league in both categories since Van Usher did so for three consecutive seasons from 1989-92. MINUTES LEADERS Three Tennessee Tech players -- Kevin Murphy, Zac Swansey and Jud Dillard -- are the top three players in the OVC in minutes played. Swansey is averaging 34.9 minutes per game while Murphy and Dillard are each averaging 34.4. The numbers a bit inflated due to Tech’s two overtime games against High Point and Lipscomb. CHALLENGING SLATE Tennessee Tech faced three opponents this season from the leagues known as “highmajor” college basketball conferences. The Golden Eagles opened at Miami (ACC) on Nov. 11, traveled to Duquesne (Atlantic 10) The Golden Eagles themselves are coming off their first postseason berth since 2002. Tech earned an invitation to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament in 2011 and played at Western Michigan, falling 74-66. CHASING RECORDS Four Golden Eagles currently rank in the top 25 among Tech’s career leaders in at least one statistical category. They are listed below: Career points Kevin Murphy (1,602), 6th -needs 124 to tie Anthony Fisher and move into 5th Career assists Zac Swansey (292), 9th -needs 22 to tie Anthony Fisher and move into 9th Kevin Murphy (201), 23rd -needs 1 to tie Danny Schultz and move into 22nd Career steals Zach Bailey (95), 21st -needs 6 to tie John Best and move into 20th Career Blocked Shots Bassey Inameti (78), 7th -needs 6 to tie Steve Taylor and move into 6th Career Field Goal Percentage Jud Dillard (.521), 11th Career Free-Throw Percentage Zach Bailey (.816), 5th DONNING THE RED SHIRT The Golden Eagles plan to redshirt true freshmen Ryon Riggins and Lanerryl Johnson this season. Riggins figures to be an important piece of Tech’s inside game in the future while Johnson will likely run point guard for the Golden Eagles. Riggins received especially high accolades coming out of high school. He was named the OVC’s “Incoming Sleeper” this preseason by ESPN. Career Steals Leaders 1. Van Usher 280 2. Stephen Kite 213 3.

Learn a little about each player below: Shaqueille Calhoun, 6-3, 180, Model (Rome, Ga.) Calhoun has earned wide recognition for his ability to score from three-point range. He was named to ESPN.com’s list of the top 25 three-point shooters nationally in the recruiting class of 2012. He averaged a double-double as a junior in 2010-11, scoring 25.7 points per game and pulling down 11.3 rebounds while leading Model to state tournament appearances in 2009 and 2011. Jay Johnson, 6-3, 180, Woodford County (Versailles, Ky.) Considered one of the top players in the state of Kentucky, Johnson averaged 20 points, 14 rebounds and six blocked shots per game as a junior. A knee injury over the summer required surgery, but Johnson has since recovered and is playing his senior season. He led Woodford County to a district championship in 2011. Johnson’s father, Lou, was Tech associate head coach Happy Osborne’s little league baseball coach in Versailles. Anthony Morse, 6-8, 210, Dacula (Dacula, Ga.) A combo forward, Morse comes from the same high school program as current Golden Eagle Matt Marseille. As a junior, he averaged eight points to go with 7.6 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game. Also a track and field athlete whose specialty is the high jump, Morse plays AAU basketball for the Georgia Stars, a club which has turned out current Tech talents Zac Swansey, Kevin Murphy and Terrell Barnes. Eric Weisenbach, 7-0, 195, Dublin Coffman (Dublin, Ohio) Remarkably versatile for a seven-footer, Weisenbach averaged seven points, five rebounds and 3.5 blocks in 2010-11. He helped Dublin Coffman to a district championship in 2010 and was named Honorable Mention all-league in the Ohio Capital Conference. He is also an Honor/Merit Roll student. He scored a career-high 18 points in a second-round district tournament victory in 2011. Tennessee Tech suffered a blow this preseason when junior forward Matt Marseille suffered a season-ending knee injury, tearing his ACL. Marseille averaged 3.4 points per contests in his first season as a Golden Eagle in 2010-11 after transferring from Centenary. He was expected to see significant playing time in 2011-12. DOUBLING UP Tech has recorded three double-doubles on the season. Most recently, Kevin Murphy went for 21 points and 10 rebounds against Kennesaw State. The other three doubledoubles have come courtesy of Jud Dillard, who did it against West Virginia, Appalachian State and High Point. 2011-12 Double-Doubles -Kevin Murphy (12/22 vs. Kennesaw State), 21 points, 10 rebounds -Jud Dillard (12/19 at West Virginia), 15 points, 12 rebounds - Jud Dillard (11/19 vs. Appalachian State), 22 points, 11 rebounds - Jud Dillard (11/22 at High Point), 18 points, 15 rebounds 30-POINT CLUB It took every bit of Kevin Murphy’s 31 points to lift Tennessee Tech over an upset bid by Wilberforce on Nov. 27. The senior guard’s performance tied his career-high and marked the third 30-point game of his career. He scored 30-plus twice in 2010-11 against Murray State and in the OVC Championship game against Morehead State. Murphy also pulled down six rebounds against Wilberforce. 2011-12 30-point games - Kevin Murphy (11/27 vs. Wilberforce), 31 points 20-POINT CLUB Twenty-plus-point games have been abundant for the Golden Eagles so far in 2011-12 thanks to the performances of Kevin Murphy and Jud Dillard. Murphy has seven 20-plus-point games while Dillard has scored more than 20 in five games so far. Most recently, Dillard scored 24 points to lead Tech in a losing effort at SIU Edwardsville. On three occasions this season Murphy and Dillard have posted 20-plus point games on the same night. In addition to Bethune-Cookman, they also did it against Lipscomb and Appalachian State. 2011-12 20-point games -Jud Dillard (12/29 at SIU Edwardsville), 24 points -Kevin Murphy (12/23 vs. Bethune-Cookman), 22 points -Jud Dillard (12/23 vs. Bethune-Cookman), 22 points -Kevin Murphy (12/22 vs. Kennesaw State), 21 points -Kevin Murphy (12/17 at Evansville), 23 points -Kevin Murphy (12/10 vs. Lipscomb), 29 points -Jud Dillard (12/10 vs. Lipscomb), 22 points -Kevin Murphy (12/7 vs. East Tennessee State), 23 points - Jud Dillard (11/27 vs. Wilberforce), 23 points - Kevin Murphy (11/19 vs. Appalachian State), 28 points - Jud Dillard (11/19 vs. Appalachian State), 22 points - Jud Dillard (11/15 vs. Reinhardt), 22 points INSIDE THE NEST HONORS FOR MURPH Kevin Murphy was named OVC Player of 2011-12 GOLDEN EAGLE BASKETBALL STRONGER THAN EVER the Week on Dec. 19 for his 23-point, sevenrebound performance in the Golden Eagles’ two-point victory over Evansville. Murphy’s contested three-pointer with 27 seconds remaining was the eventual game-winner. A week earlier, Murphy was named MidMajor Player of the Week by CollegeHoops. net for his performances in victories over East Tennessee State on Dec. 7 and Lipscomb on Dec. 10. The web site publishes its Mid-Major Player of the Week as part of a review of the previous week of college basketball action published each Monday. Murphy enjoyed the best week of his stellar senior season to-date, scoring 23 points against ETSU and tossing in 29 against Lipscomb. He went 10-for-13 from the field against ETSU and scored 19 of his points against Lipscomb in the second half to spark a Tech rally. NOVEMBER HONORS Senior guard Kevin Murphy and junior guard Jud Dillard were among five OVC players recognized as all-conference selections for the month of November by CollegeHoopsNet.com. Tennessee Tech was the only OVC school to have more than one honoree. Murphy averaged 19.5 points per game in November while Dillard averaged 8.7 rebounds per contest. COACHING DEBUT Tennessee Tech’s Steve Payne made his official debut as the Golden Eagles’ head coach on Nov. 11 at Miami (Fla.) In March, Payne was promoted from his post as associate head coach, replacing Mike Sutton, who he had worked under at Tech since 2002. Payne was the top assistant on Sutton’s staff for nine years and found himself in a much more demanding role in 2005 when Sutton was stricken with a rare immune disorder known as GuillainBarre syndrome and was unable to coach the early portion of the season. With Payne handling the day-to-day operations of the program, the Golden Eagles raced out to an 8-2 start. Payne continued to handle a major portion of the coaching duties for the remainder of the year, leading Tech to an 18-11 record and the semifinals of the OVC Tournament. SEASONED VETERANS The Golden Eagles’ five projected starters this season (Zac Swansey, Zach Bailey, Kevin Murphy, Jud Dillard and Liam McMorrow) have played in a combined 375 Division I college basketball games in their careers coming into the 2011-12 season, giving Tech one of the most experienced lineups around. Swansey has the most games under his belt (98, split between TTU and Georgia), while Murphy is close behind, having played in 95 contests. Bailey (89), Dillard (61) and McMorrow (32) are also in the mix. PRESEASON HONORS Preseason accolades have come flooding into Cookeville this fall as Tech returns four starters and almost 90 percent of its offensive production from a season ago. The Golden Eagles received eight firstplace votes and were picked to finish second behind Austin Peay in the OVC preseason poll, while senior guard Kevin Murphy was named Preseason Player of the Year by the conference’s coaches and sports information directors. Along with Murphy, senior guard Zac Swansey was a preseason all-conference selection. Tech has been picked to win the OVC by a number of media outlets, including the Sporting News and CBSSports.com. Murphy has gotten Player of the Year nods from multiple outlets as well while Swansey was recognized as preseason player of the year in the league by USA Today. NATIONAL RECOGNITION Aside from racking up OVC honors, Kevin Murphy has also made a name for himself in national college basketball circles. Murphy was named one of the top 30 “under-the-radar” players in the nation by CBSSports.com and also earned a spot on the All-Mid Major second team as named by College Sports Madness. The All-Mid Major teams recognized 20 players nationwide split between first, second, third and fourth teams. MOVIN’ ON UP Kevin Murphy scored his 1,000th point at Tennessee Tech in a home game against Murray State last season and now has 1,602 career points. With 21 points against Kennesaw State on Dec. 22, he moved into sixth on the all-time scorers list at Tech, passing Anthony Avery. Murphy could have some company in the 1,000-point club this season from teammate Jud Dillard, who has 842 points to his name. Dillard, a junior, has averaged 11.2 points per game in his career. Recent TTU players to join the 1,000-point club include Anthony Fisher (2008), Amadi McKenzie (2008) and Frank Davis (2010).

He was inserted into the starting lineup at High Point and has started each game since. Barnes, a returning starter from 2010-11, has been a steady contributor on the inside for the Golden Eagles during his two-year career, averaging 4.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR This year’s Tennessee Tech roster has a worldly flavor to it, with two Golden Eagles natives of countries other than the United States and a third with deep roots elsewhere. Dennis Ogbe grew up in Munich, Germany, where he played for a club team called Franken Hexer and was selected to play in an all-star game similar to the USA’s McDonald’s All-American Game. Liam McMorrow hails from Toronto, Canada, where he grew up playing hockey and lacrosse. His basketball career began at Durham College in Ontario, where he averaged 8.4 points and 6.5 rebounds in 2007-08. Though he is from the Atlanta area, Bassey Inameti has roots in Nigeria. His father, Ephraim Inameti, was a World Cup soccer player for the Nigeria Green Eagles. NEW LEADERSHIP After Steve Payne was named Tech’s head coach in March, an offseason shake-up in the staff saw Payne welcome longtime friend and national-championship NAIA coach Happy Osborne as well as former Western Kentucky standout David Boyden to campus. Osborne, the longtime head coach at Georgetown College, an ultra-successful NAIA program in Kentucky, will serve as Payne’s associate head coach. He posted a career 456-84 record at Georgetown and led the Tigers to the 1998 NAIA national championship. Payne coached under Osborne at Georgetown from 1996-2000, where the two became close friends. Boyden comes to Tech from an assistant position at his alma mater, Western Kentucky, where he was an All-Sun Belt Conference performer for the Hilltoppers as a player. LET’S GO TO VEGAS Tennessee Tech played in one in-season tournament this season, taking part in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic in December. The Golden Eagles went 2-1 in the event and were 2-0 in games played in Las Vegas. Tech opened its stay in the tournament by suffering a 19-point loss to West Virginia in Morgantown, W.V., in the on-campus round. The Golden Eagles then flew to Las Vegas and defeated both Kennesaw State, 81-68, and Bethune-Cookman, 67-59, at Orleans Arena, winning the upper bracket championship. The rest of the field included Baylor, Saint Mary’s, Missouri State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. SCHEDULE CHANGES Unlike most seasons, Tennessee Tech will not play each of its OVC opponents twice in 2011-12. With the addition of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville as an official member of the league, the conference announced a 16-game schedule designed to allow schools to gain more freedom and opportunity to schedule quality non-conference foes. Under the new format, teams will play six of the other 10 schools twice (home and away) and the other four teams just once during the season. When determining matchups, historical and traditional rivalries were considered along with the proximity of teams who would play one another twice during the year. In 2011-12, Tennessee Tech will play homeand-away series with SIU Edwardsville, Tennessee State, Morehead State, Murray State, Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky while facing Tennessee-Martin, Southeast Missouri, Austin Peay and Eastern Illinois just once. BACK IN THE GAME In 2010-11, Tennessee Tech earned its first postseason berth since 2002-03, receiving an invitation to play in the CollegeInsider. com Tournament, where they traveled to Western Michigan and fell 74-66 in the first round. SWAN’S SONG In addition to lighting up the OVC stat books in 2010-11, Zac Swansey had the nation on alert as well. Swansey ranked seventh in NCAA Division I in assists per game, dishing out an average of 6.4 per contest. It marked the first time a Tech player has ranked in the top 10 in a national statistical category since Lorenzo Coleman was second in blocked shots and ninth in rebounding in 1996-97. Swansey also registered 27th in NCAA Division I in steals per game with an average of 2.1. Swansey’s 212 assists were the thirdmost ever recorded in a season by a Tech player. HE JUST DIDN’T MISS... Alfred Jones left Tennessee Tech in 2010-11 as the school’s all-time leader in career field-goal percentage. Jones shot 64.0 percent from the floor, besting Amadi McKenzie’s 60.2 career percentage. Jones’ 2010-11 season percentage of 64.7 ranked fifth all-time. With Belmont slated to join the league on July 1, 2012, the future scheduling format is to be announced. IN REVIEW STRONG FINISH The Golden Eagles were strong finishers in 2010-11, going on a seven-game winning streak that began Feb. 12 and didn’t end until the OVC tournament championship game on March 5. During that stretch, Tech improved its record from 13-11 to 20-11, earning its first 20-win season since 200203 and upsetting regular-season league champion Murray State in the tournament semifinals. Tech finally fell victim to Morehead State, which went on to upset Louisville as a No. 13 seed in the NCAA Tournament. 2011-12 GOLDEN EAGLE BASKETBALL STRONGER THAN EVER The Last Time It Happened...

High School: Russell County College: Union College, 1990 Family: wife Kelli, sons Parker and Paxton, daughter Abigail COACHING HISTORY 2011: Tennessee Tech (head coach) 2002-11: Tennessee Tech (associate head coach) 2000-02: Frank Phillips J.C. (head coach) 1996-2000: Georgetown Coll. (associate head coach) 1994-96: Northwestern State (assistant coach) 1991-94: Union University (assistant coach) 1990-91: Knox Central HS (assistant coach) If loyalty in coaching had a face, it would be that of Tennessee Tech’s Steve Payne. For Payne, 42, who served as associate head coach of the Golden Eagles men’s basketball program for the past nine years under Mike Sutton, that loyalty paid off in March, when he was named Sutton’s successor in a joint press conference announcing the retirement of the veteran as well as the promotion of a man who already knows the Tennessee Tech program inside and out. “I want to thank coach Sutton for taking the chance on a junior college coach from Texas,” Payne said at his introductory announcement. “I have always been proud to represent Tennessee Tech and I am even more so today. When I came here, my goal was to be a Division I coach. After being here, that goal changed. I wanted to be the coach of Tennessee Tech University.” Payne came to Tech in 2002 as an assistant coach under Sutton and was the top assistant on the staff for nine years, rising to the post of associate head coach. He found himself in a much more demanding role when Sutton was stricken in 2005 with the a rare immune system disorder known as Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disease which sidelined him for the early portion of that season. With Payne handling the day-to-day op- 2011-12 GOLDEN EAGLE BASKETBALL STRONGER THAN EVER lege. During his time at Georgetown, the Tigers compiled a 128-22 record, won three conference titles in four years, and won the NAIA national title in 1997-98. The team finished second at the NAIA National Tournament in 1999-00, and advanced to the Sweet 16 two other years. Payne also served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Northwestern State (La.) University where he helped NSU to its best conference finish in a decade. Before NSU, he was an assistant coach at Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where he was recruiting coordinator and helped lead the team to back-to-back 20-win seasons. erations of the program, the Golden Eagles raced out to an 8-2 start with losses at Dayton and Cincinnati. Payne continued to handle a major portion of the coaching duties for the remainder of the year, helping to lead Tech to an 18-11 record and the semifinals of the OVC Tournament. During the 2010-11 season, Payne headed the Golden Eagles on two OVC road trips in Sutton’s absence and guided the team to three wins in four games. In his nine years, Payne has helped Tech post 149 wins and two of the program’s five 20-win seasons, hitting that mark in 2002-03 and again in 2010-11. While his title changes, Payne sees the program going through a seamless transition. “I’ve always taken ownership of this program,” he says. “It’s different suggesting to the head coach what you think is best for the program, and being the one with the final say, but I feel I’m prepared for this. I’ve done this before. “We have great players, a great staff, and great administration, and I’m looking forward to continuing the upward trend of men’s basketball at Tennessee Tech.” Payne said he was greatly influenced by Sutton during the past nine seasons. “Spending nine years around coach Sutton will be a huge benefit,” Payne said. “He’s a very knowledgeable coach. We’ve been through a lot and I’m ready to take the next challenge. I want to face what’s ahead of us. “I appreciate and will always owe a debt of gratitude to Mike Sutton for bringing me here. The lessons I’ve learned from him over the last nine years cannot be measured. He has taught me so many things, but the main thing is that a basketball program should be about relationships first. The relationships we have with each other, and with our community, are what make a basketball program special. “I couldn’t be more proud to be representing a university community and a man in coach Sutton who has handled a very tough situation with such class and poise.” Payne is a graduate of Russell County High School in Russell Springs, Ky., and earned his bachelor’s degree from Union College in Barbourville, Ky., in 1990. Payne and his wife, Kelli, have three children — sons Parker (12) and Paxton (10), and daughter Abigail (7). Following the 2005-06 season, Payne was recognized for the role he played in Tech’s success while Sutton began his recovery. He was named OVC Coach of the Year by CollegeInsider.com and was listed as one of 15 finalists for the Hugh Durham Award honoring the mid-major coach of the year. CBSSportsline.com also named him OVC Coach of the Year. Payne began his career at Tech after serving as the head coach at Frank Phillips Junior College in Borger, Texas. Prior to taking the reins at Frank Phillips JC, Payne was associate head coach for four years at Georgetown (Ky.)
