I went to every game for all four years of their playing. I heard Jim announce all the games he announced back in high school. I loved it when Jim and my son went out together because I knew there would be no hamky panky, just good clean fun. As you can see I am no writer, but I am one of the players mom. Congratulations Scott Harrod and all the rest of the team who did a fantistic job in l978. Love Mom. Congratulations to all the l978 Football team members.

Oh the memories that are created every friday night across America. My favorite memory was from 1998. Yes, I'm a young guy. I was a freshman at Hutch high. We were playing at Derby and we attended the game to, well...most likely see them lose. Derby was ranked #1 in the state and it was their homecoming too. Did I mention it was Leisler's senior year? I had never seen so many fans, tv sports guy said 5,000. When we arrived(late), we were already down 7-0. I told my friend, "I bet it's 14-0 by the time we get up to the stands." It was that very score by the time we got to the visitors stands. We were used to getting drubbed by Derby every year by 50 or 60, so the score was no surprise. The surprise was that Hutch scored 33 unanswered points to defeat Derby 33-14. On the news that night one of the tv announcers said something like, Derby has alot of tradition and Hutch has none whatsoever. Obviously times have changed since then, but it will forever be in my memory as the night Hutch football turned a corner towards success. As Jack stated in his memory, my memory has lead me to a path of teaching and coaching as well. A big thank you to all the teachers and coaches that influenced my life so greatly. Great story!

For myself, that night comes in October, when Smoky Valley will be honoring Gary Sandbo and the 1988 state championship team. I was not part of that team, i was an 8th grader in Salina, but did play for Coach Sandbo from 89-92. Those where great memories, and led me to a path of teaching and coaching here in Wichita. A big thank you to all of my coaches that helped me get where I am today! Ah the memories.
