Nominee's Accomplishments at the High School Level in Kentucky:

A graduate of Johnson Central, David was an outstanding athlete while representing the Golden Eagles. He was a record-setting performer, playing and lettering in four different sports (basketball, cross country, golf and football). The 1979 graduate would capture three district championships in basketball while being named all-state two times for Hall of Fame Coach Wendall Wallen. In 1978-1979, Couch was also named a national Student-Athlete All-American. His 50-point performance against Paintsville still stands as the most points ever scored in a game by a JCHS player against the Tigers. He then played for Coach Mike Krzyzewski at Army. He returned to Kentucky following his military service and has been head of education technology with the KY Department of Eduction since 1992. In that role, he has lead the way for Kentucky's first of its kind all-fiber network to serve school children, teachers and administrators. He has been heavily involved with the KHSAA as a conduit with KDE. David's athletic achievements as well as his career of service to his school, his state and his nation make him an excellent and worthy candidate for the Dawahare/KHSAA Hall of Fame as both a player and as a contributor.
