Knowles Dismissed from Ky. All-Star Team

Former Clark County Star and University of Louisville signee Preston Knowles has been dismissed from the Kentucky All-Star team and will not play Saturday against Indiana in Bowling Green.

According to the Louisville Courier Journal website, Knowles' dismissal came about after the guard missed a team curfew.

"We asked him why he missed curfew and he said he had some personal problems back home," said Kentucky game director Stan Hardin. "So we're letting him go home and take care of those problems. He could come back next week."

The Kentucky team is loaded with guards, but Knowles was considered to be a primary ball-handler. He averaged better than 21 points and seven rebounds per game in leading Clark County to the state quarterfinals.
