Jerry Racke, coach, skilled trap shooter
Educator and sports coach Jerry Racke was one of the finest trap shooters in the United States.
"He probably would have been on the U.S. Olympic team in 1980 if not for the U.S. boycotting the games in Moscow that year, " said his brother, Henry Racke of Alexandria.
Mr. Racke, 64, of Alexandria, died Monday in Birmingham, Ala., where he had been putting bird dogs through field trials.
He coached football and golf at Campbell County High School, where he also was a teacher and assistant principal. He later was director of transportation at the school.

He also was an avid horseman who showed draft horses at the Alexandria Fair and Horse Show, and he rode Tennessee walking horses in conjunction with putting bird dogs through field trials.
"He was well known for his sports endeavors, " said his brother. "He loved animals and the outdoors. He hunted and fished from the time he was a child.
"He was a very friendly, outgoing guy. He enjoyed being around people who shared his interests in sports and the outdoors. He lived his life doing exactly what he wanted to do."
The graduate of Campbell County High School and Eastern Kentucky University was a former board member of Holly Hill Children's Home.
