Ronnie Lyons will be inducted into the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame in May

Former Mason County Royal Ronnie Lyons will be inducted into the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame one year later than originally scheduled.

Lyons, second on the Royals' all-time scoring list, is a member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2020, but the induction celebration was postponed last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Kentucky Basketball Hall of Fame, located in Elizabethtown, has scheduled the induction celebrations for both the Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021 this year.

The 2020 Induction Celebration is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on May 15 at Elizabethtown State Theater.

Lyons scored 2,621points in his high school career and scored a career record 60 points vs. Bourbon County in 1970. He was named All-State in 1969 and 1970 and was a Prep All-American in 1970. Lyons played for the Kentucky All-Stars in the annual series with Indiana and also played in the Dapper Dan Classic. He would go on to play for the Kentucky Wildcats.

Kim Denkins, who led the Nicholas County Lady Jackets to the 1993 state championship, is also a member of the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2020.
