- Billy Bird - American football player[2]
- Calvin Bird - American football player; a member of the 1955 team, which never had a loss[2]
- Jerry Bird - basketball player
- Rodger Bird - American football player[2]
- Steve Bird[3]
- Bob Coleman[3]
- Jesse Grant[3]
- Roy Kidd[3]

Gary West, a man from Bowling Green, Kentucky, who became friends with Rodger Bird while attending university, stated that the community little leagues formed the foundation for the success of athletics at Corbin High; all of the players of the little leagues attended the same high school.[2]
In 2013, West wrote a book, The Boys from Corbin, America's Greatest Little Sports Town, discussing the school's sports teams of the 1950s and 1960s. At first, Rodger Bird declined to assist with the writing a book about his high school career, but six months later he agreed on the condition that the book also discussed the Selvys and other famous athletes from CHS.[2]
