The conversation in the thread about Jake Ohmer's number retirement got me thinking about it...which schools have retired which jerseys and numbers for their various sports?

 

 

Anecdotes are encouraged.

I can't say for sure whether or not there are others at Cov Cath, but I know they have retired at least 2 football players' numbers, and at least 1 basketball jersey.

 

Dan Tieman (Cov Cath '58) had his basketball jersey retired upon his retirement from teaching and coaching at the school for 46 years. Coach T played basketball at Cov Cath, Villa Madonna College, and then for one season with the Cincinnati Royals.

 

Artie Steinmetz (Cov Cath '97) died in a car accident in November 1998. He was an all-state defensive tackle at Cov Cath, played his freshman year of college football at Michigan State University, and transferred to the University of Kentucky to play football there. He was a redshirt transfer at the time of his death.

 

Cov Cath retired his jersey and #94 when he died in 1998.

 

 

 

None.

Mike Caple (Cov Cath '97) died accidentally in December 1995. Mike was a star tailback and outside linebacker for the Colonels, and played on their AAA state championship team.

 

He was a junior at Cov Cath when he died, at which point they retired his jersey and #32.

 

 

The only two I know for Highlands football was John Burt #40 class of 61' and Marty Moore #43 class of 89'.

NewCath was thinking of hanging Mex's jersey in the rafters but he is now a cake eater so it got shot down.

None.

 

Grant County, correct? And none for any of their sports?

Yeppers, steve Howe maybe for basketball, none for football that I am aware of.

I believe Highlands basketball had Scott Draud, Jaren Lorenzen, and Derek Smith.

 

Ladybirds has Jamie Walz retired.

Chris Lofton and Darius Miller
