We got to the 2A semifinals vs Putnam County in 1990, and lost... by a field goal. Our coach before the game told the whole team that today wasnt gonna be "****a left, ****a right" today... it was gonna be a team effort [referring to our star running back]
Pissed him off, and he played with minimal effort. The memory of Coach saying that shit still makes my jaw drop... needless to say, the next year, they fired his ass. The Star running back? Now works as an Asst mgr at a Pizza Hut. |

Played in probably the toughest Class A sectional in the state my senior year in basketball. I think at least 4, maybe 5 of the 6 teams in the sectional were ranked in or got votes for the Top 10 of Class A at some point... and a team from that sectional went to the title game the year before, state semifinals this year, and state finals the next year (to give you another barometer, our rival high school in this sectional had Brody Boyd, who as Iowa fans know was a starting guard for you guys and helped win you a Big 10 title, 3rd leading career scorer in the long history of Indiana basketball, and they didn't even make the sectional final this year)... so yeah, we didn't do anything. First game of the sectional my senior year we were playing a 14-7ish team that was probably the 4th best odds-on "favorite" in the sectional (my school was 10-10, but we'd played a tough schedule and beat some good teams)... trailed the whole way and finally made a run late to get the lead down to 4 with momentum when somebody on our team got an awful technical foul, killed the momentum and we never got it back. Boy how I'd love to coach a team in that situation, have a packed blaring loud gym with people having to stand all around the concourse because there's nowhere in the "bowl" to sit....all for high schools that have 300 kids or less with everything on the line... can't beat it.

Hell, I played on one. We beat kee High Of Lansing
Iowa 8-4. I had two hits, 2 runs scored and a throwing error. I've broadcast several state championship baseball games too. I've broadcast several state wrestling tournyments too. Nothing like actually knowing the kids on the field or court that your covering or watching.

State Champion
Went to state in wrestling 3 times in high school and won it my senior year. We took 3rd place as a team also. Went to playoffs in football my senior year, but lost in the first round. Went to substate finals in baseball my junior and senior year losing 2-1 in 13 innings my senior year. Ah the good old glory days. Hope my kids get to participate in something like that when they get older.

When I played little league our Bronco baseball team made it to the State Tournament representing our city.
We played well eliminating two teams but alas,we were to find out that we were still just small fish in a big pond.

1989 High School State Championship game - 1A Football
We went down to Columia and played St. Genevieve Valle and got our arses handed to us something like 47 - 7. That was the 2nd year of Valle's run. From 88 - 95 they won 6 1A state championships. Private school, private recruiting, more money . . . . you get the picture |

Salina Central H.S., Class 5A State Track & Field Champs. We lost to Liberal in the football playoffs, lost to Kapaun Mt. Carmel in the basketball finals (Greg Dreiling was the center for Kapaun), but we got off the schneide in track.

Never played for the State Championship in either Football or Basketball. However, my team was rated #1 in the KC Metropolitan area in Basketball in 1984 going into the State Playoffs. We were knocked out by a team that we beat by 30 points in Sub State. That same team went on to win 5A State. We ended our season 17-1. I still have visions of winning it all. There is no doubt that we were the best overall team in the state (Kansas and Missouri).........
