Lexington’s Jessie ClarkMiddle School is having UK Day/JORTS Day on Friday.
All students have been encouraged to wear a UK shirt and “Jorts” in honor of Kentucky player Josh Harrellson.
“We have been pumping it up this week by showing pictures of Josh on the morning news,” Sara Chaffin said in an email. “We are also reading a UK poem and showing highlights of the NCAA tournament on the morning news on Friday.”

Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
