OT: Lafayette Jeff
- Thread starter rwenger
- Start date
Well-coached team, and, they are solid...Brooks I believe is the one with some potential "big-time" talent (he has offers from Butler and Northwestern, among others, and it is anticipated that he will receive more interest and offers).

Thank you for posting. I graduated from there in 1974. Used to pack in 7000 a game. CC was damn good too. Hope for much success for Barnhiser, he could play.
He's doing very well at Northwestern with some game experience now. He's gonna be a good player for us the next few years.
Rossville grad ('79), you stole my heart TJ. Those teams were somethine else for sure, especially factor in the small school angle. They gave East Chicago Washington, arguably the best state team ever, all they could handle, if john kamstra hadn't got a bad back in the earlier game, maybe a different outcome. Fun times indeed, playing in mackey arena, knocking off Jeff...etc

I've said this before, but since you were a Hornet I'll add that Rossville has put out a lot of really good ball players...as has Tipton with both being small towns. Not sure where Mike Jones went right after Rossville, but thinking Delphi. His brother Shannon was coach of Lewis Cass for many years...
He (Mike) was around Warsaw I think in the early to mid 80s. "He (Shannon) was preceded in death by his parents and four brothers, Jim, Pat, Mike and Shane Jones; and three sisters, Janet Bradshaw, Joyce Witbank and JoAnn Brown."
Shannon K. Jones ·
Listen to this article Shannon Kirke Jones, age 85, of Walton, Indiana passed away at 11:00 p.m., on December 31, 2022, at his home surrounded by his family. Shannon was born on November 30, 1937, in Falfurrias, TX to Herman L. and Irene (Pierce) Jones. On December 31, 1971, he married Celia...

Before Lewis Cass Shannon was at Grass Creek HS and North Caston HS I think. Dam good coach.
As I recall when I played at Royal Center HS/ Pioneer HS in the early 60's, Shannon Jones was the coach at North Caston HS (Allen Wills - Phil's brother) a rival school. However, North Caston was a new consolidation of Grass Creek HS (Phil Wills - Purdue) and maybe Fulton HS I think. Anyway I believe Shannon Jones coached at Grass Creek HS prior to the consolidation.
Used to stop in Tbone T'roy's??? for a tenderloin years ago in Royal Center. Have a friend that used to live a couple miles north to the fork and then right on the fork maybe 3 or so miles out of Royal Center.
Rod Weaver...still a friend, but don't see him much anymore. He had a couple of brothers. All I recall was going north out of RC a mile or two on 35 there is a slight fork in the road and if you take the right fork for a couple of miles or so he grew up on a farm on the left side. A nephew's wife taught there for a few years maybe 5 or 6 years ago and an ex sec (good gal, but can't recall her name Theresa ???) that was almost across from the school and maybe a house or two south or first house entering RC????
When I grew up and lived there RC contained a number of Weavers. They were either older or younger than me.
