Albert Hulbert LCD 1964

Mr. Hulbert was regarded as the most effective scorer in Louisville Country Day basketball history. Some basketball historians regard him as the best basketball player ever to have worn a Country Day uniform. Mr. Hulbert was considered a sharpshooter and scored 637 career points in only 41 games along with a 71 percent free throw average. The 5’11” star placed second in Jefferson County for scoring during both his junior and senior seasons with a 17.9 and 17.3 points per game average. He is the only Country Day player to wear a University of Kentucky basketball uniform at the invitation of UK head coach Adolph Rupp, playing his freshman season. Unfortunately, illness struck the rising star during his basketball career, and he eventually lost his battle with leukemia at a young age. His younger brother Leland, an LCD alumnus, continues to serve as Albert’s ambassador for his older brother’s accomplishments.
