Mostly JH but there are HS kids that have parents that are alumni

Next year 4 of the 5 seniors are alumni kids . 3 of the 4 seniors this year were too. So this year’s upperclassmen 7 of 9 were alumni kids. I believe that’s part of the reason Miami fans were so invested this year beyond the history making season for the school, there were generations of warriors cheering on their young family members. Several more in the younger classes too.

Garden City is the same way. The Germans in St, Lawrence that I went to school with in many cases are now into two generations of boys playing football since we were in school together. some of their grandsons are playing for the Bearkats now. Heck, my mother had 9 brothers. There was a Robinson boy or nephew/grandson playing football for GC from 1945 to 1979. Unfortunately, none of the Robinson clan kids that had kids stayed local. We scattered out all over the nation. Two Hillgers stayed local, but I do not know if any of their kids have. I have kind of lost touch with everyone lately. Still a lot of Halfmans, Schwartzes, Hoelschers, Jansas, Batlas, Hirts, and Plagens there.

@Jones26 might could verify but I recall an article once upon a time where "The Voice of the Bearkats" was great grandad or great great uncle to a Batlas. The older Bearkat had called games for many of his younger Kats.
I think that is great!

Here's the article https://www.cbs7.com/2023/11/17/cbs7-special-report-voice-generations/
I've known Delmer for all my life. His son Mike was in my grade and we played football togther me as a center or guard, him the QB (8 man) Delmer was also the coach of the little league baseball team from St. Lawrence. I remember him picking up my brothers and I in his station wagon to go to the games in Midkiff at the El Paso Natural Gas Camp. Sometimes he carried the whole team......
I remember when he started calling the games. That was my Junior year at GC. He also owned and ran one of the three cotton gins in St. Lawrence. Our baseball practice field was in the gin yard.

I know of an Alex Halfman, good sport, genuine guy. I know of Taylor Niesche. I'm not sure if I spelled that right, but I remember playing them in tennis. Head Nieusche is working for NASA! That's pretty awesome!

A lot of us got an engineering degree. Earl Jansa (2 yrs older) got a MS in Aerospace Engineering (he was the first from GC), I was second with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. There have been several more since then.
OBK, you and others must have had a heck of a science and or math teacher for a 6/8 man school at that time to both teach and encourage you. I know there are a lot of great ones out there but even today they don't pay them enough to come to the small towns. It has to be from a love of teaching and of kids.
Not to distract from the rumors. School's out here. Have the Hayes and Rigdon's moved to Baird yet?
Heard Dixon is bringing Rigdon to Oglesby.

Our science teacher was not much the first two years, but after he retired we got a new one my junior year and she was pretty good. We did have a good math teacher.

@SanchoPanza I have no idea just a rumor that is going around. He could end up at a number of 11 or 6 man programs

This biggest stunner is that article was up on DCTF for almost 24 hours before someone posted it here.

Buddy of mine sent it to me since I don’t have the Book of Faces
Do y’all think there is any chance he goes where his brother is the AD?
