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.
