Favorite La Salle Teacher: Ken Barlag, Bob Krueger, Ray Heidorn, Bro. Larry Keller and Bill Felchner
Favorite La Salle Memory: The many lifelong friends I met while at La Salle and the many stories we have made that cannot be repeated here.
Favorite La Salle Alumni Experience:
Building Lancer Stadium with the countless number of volunteers. I will forever be in their debt.
All the athletic facilities we built and improved upon over the years.
The first win in football over Moeller. I was the defensive coordinator.
The first State Team Championship in school history in Track and Field. I was the throws coach.
The first state championship in basketball.
The first state championship in football. My son Kyle coached the safeties.
And all the state championships that followed.
However, the many friendships that were formed from building Lancer Stadium, working on the Camelot Auction, Sports Stag, Krueger Golf Outing, the Game Day Event Committee and the many dedicated coaches I have had the honor to work with at La Salle, I could not be more blessed.
I am very thankful I was able to involve my family in the La Salle experience. My wife Stormy, coached the cheerleaders and helped run the concession stand in the stadium. My daughter Mandy was a cheerleader. My son Kyle, a 2000 graduate, played football, ran track and played volleyball. And after a deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan coached football. And my daughter Allie was a Lancer cheerleader and trained at La Salle while she ran cross country and track for McAuley.
