Dead Dog Alley Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 Shelton has to co-op just to have a football team? Wow. The first co-op barely happened, it didn't get approved until late July, and the male enrollment of the smaller school involved that year was 7. Not 7 per class, but 7 total, with 1 freshman, 0 sophomores, 3 juniors and 3 seniors. (And yes, I was one of those 7.) Handy Johnson 1 Quote

Maybe I'm just still a little sour losing 12-0 at their place on a very cold night in the fall of 2001. We (Bertrand) weren't very good that year (3-6) and they won state (13-0). And we played them to within 12 points! Man, we had a brutal schedule that year: Cambridge, North Platte St. Pat's, Amherst, Lawrence-Nelson, Kearney Catholic - all REALLY good teams. Quote

They came over & scrimmaged our JVs just to get familiar with the court, and whenever we’d shoot a jump shot from behind the Key they’d just stand there slack jawed. They weren’t use to seeing anyone attempt a shot from that distance... Bugeaters1 and dustystehl 1 1 Quote

They were coached by Ron Kubick, who had won a C-2 state title at Bertrand in 1991 (I was in Kindergarten). That was a big series, especially for Bertrand folks. We won both games, shutting them out 27-0 in Doniphan in 03 (my senior year). My buddy had THREE interceptions in that game! Handy Johnson 1 Quote
