If one were to create an "All-Highlands" team, made up of the best players/coaches ever to have been at HHS, who would be selected as the "All-Highlands" head coach? There's certainly several to choose from... what do the HHS faithful say???

 

I suspect Homer Rice will get a ton of votes... how does Dale Mueller compare?

Dale Mueller (1994-Present): 153-43-0 (78.1 Winning %), 6 State Titles 2007: 15-0, 1998: 15-0, 1996: 15-0

Tom Duffy (1988-1993): 61-15-0 (80.3 Winning %), 2 State Titles

Jack Eicher (1984-1987): 30-13-0 (69.8 Winning %)

Bill Herrmann (1976-1983): 81-18-0 (81.8 Winning %), 3 State Titles 1982: 15-0

Roger Walz (1974-1975): 20-4-0 (83.3 Winning %), 1 State Title

Mike Murphy (1967-1973): 66-12-1 (84.2 Winning %), 2 State Titles 1970: 14-0, 1968: 13-0

Owen Hauck (1962-1966): 48-8-1 (85.1 Winning %), 1 State Title 1964: 12-0

Homer Rice (1954-1961): 70-11-6 (83.9 Winning %), 3 State Titles 1961: 12-0, 1960: 12-0, 1957: 11-0

Ewell Waddell (1942-1953): 91-37-0 (71.1 Winning %), 1 State Title

Bernie Sadosky (1938-1941): 19-15-4 (55.3 Winning %)

Honey Rader (1937): 7-1-1 (83.3 Winning %)

Walter "Rip" Van Winkle (1932-1936): 24-14-5 (61.6 Winning %)

Homer Jackson (1926-1931): 43-11-2 (78.6 Winning %), 1 State Title 1930: 10-0

Collis "Pop" Jorden (1923-1925): 18-8-0 (69.2 Winning %)

J. H. Keck (1922): 2-3-0 (40.0 Winning %)

John Gillespie (1917-1921): 17-14-3 (54.4 Winning %)

Gosnell Layman (1916): 4-2-1 (64.3 Winning %)

Thomas Lewis (1915): 4-5-2 (45.5 Winning %)

 

I wonder how many teams in the universe have had two different coaches with the first name Homer?

There hasn't been a coach there with a losing % since 1922! That is amazing!!!

I would say between Dale Mueller and Homer Rice. JD

There hasn't been a coach there with a losing % since 1922! That is amazing!!!

 

And only TWO losing seasons total!

If you go with percentage of championships won on the number of seasons coached, Roger wins at 50%

^ Yea...what HE said!

He probably also wins the high strung cursing screaming award!

Great info, is that on the schools website??

I do not know... but what a great group of outstanding men! I do not think one could pick out the best coach out of this group. Each laid a cornerstone for the other that built Highlands Football what is today... talking about the recipe for a winning tradition. Great stuff 72birdman!

^ Yea...what HE said!

 

^ NO to what he said...

Great info' date=' is that on the schools website??[/quote']

 

More than you ever wanted to know about Highlands football and then some. I will let someone else who is responsible because I might violate a BGP rule if I identify the creators BGP handle

Perfect timing... I just finished making all the new changes, including full updates and all new pictures! Also, the blogspot website listed above can be accessed directly from the main site's contents page, and vice versa! Enjoy!

He probably also wins the high strung cursing screaming award!

 

High strung? Screaming?....yes! Cursing! Unequivically, NO! I have NEVER heard Roger utter curse word, on or off the field...even though I may have caused him to want to curse on many the occasion!

^ NO to what he said...

 

Just because your 50 percent didn't have a state championship, (as previously mentioned in another thread!) is no need not to "yea"!
