1966-67                                 Return to Year-by-Year                 HOME

STATE CHAMPIONS  CLASS AA: Wyandotte  CLASS A: Buhler  CLASS B: Inman  CLASS BB: Dwight

                      This was a down season for Coach Bueltel. The 1966 squad played seven seniors - so playing time was limited for underclassmen. Seniors & Juniors remaining for this season had little experience. Bob Faught showed great improvement and became one of the city's top scorers. He scored 36 points against Olathe. Senior guard Steve Harding was playing well when he went down with a season ending knee injury and Dale Bennett was hobbled by a football injury. Coach Bueltel ended up playing a lot of Sophomores - notably Don Faught and John Gibbs. Late in the season, Coach Bueltel and the Wildcats gave Leavenworth a loss with a perfectly executed delay game.
