As for coaches. The best coach I ever coached against was Delber Erickson of Newton. Delbert was a very quiet guy but he could get more out of his marginal kids than anyone I have seen. He won several state championships at Newton High and they haven't won much since he left there. Jake Durham at Norton was a great one too. There was a great one for many years that coached a lot of places and never really got his due and that was my great late friend Gerald Sadowski. If they ever gave an award for class I salute him for it and I miss him.
