Congratulations to Dale and Mike! Unbelievable successful coaches, and both are great guys who kid's absolutely love playing for. They are very different personalities, but both of these guys were exactly the same in terms of work ethic. I was fortunate to have been on Mike's staff for his 1st 2 State Championships. Mike watched film every waking hour to prepare for every opponent. It didn't matter if we were playing Ludlow, or Pikville.....Mike prepared each week like it was the last game he would ever coach. But, the best part was always his pre-game talks to the players. All of us as coaches would make sure we didn't miss his inspiring words week after week. If Mike Yeagle was still coaching, his record would be crazy. To be honest, I always thought he would go on to college much like Kerry Combs. He would be one of best recruiters in America. I am so grateful for my experience with Mike. Just being on his staff gave me the opportunity to be a head coach. Great guy and very well deserved.

 

I agree About his pre-game speeches. His pre-game speeches would make a grown man cry. I never will forget the speech he gave us my señor year against Bellevue on señor night.

What about the speach he gave on señorita night? :clap:

 

I crack me up. I will be here all week. Don't forget to tip the wait staff.

Anyone know if the NKADA has a website and/or a public listing of their hall-of-famers? Seems like that should be something pretty basic for them to have out there for the general public to see...

 

I've been fortunate enough to be on the selection commitee for around 20 years. It is amazing to see the resumes of the great athletes that Northern Ky. has produced. No website, but they produce a top notch program and Mel Webster has collected photos of almost every member that has been inducted. He has put together a slide show of those images that he plays each year at the banquet. It really is a special evening and I was not a happy camper that I had to miss the event this year.
