“There were so many. What I most remember is when we would travel and how much fun we had, especially to SPC tournaments.” ~ Margaret Thompson Ladd ’74
“Mr. BenBarka was a math teacher and our soccer coach. Our novice team won SPC, both north and south zones our senior year, and I was most valuable player. My children think I made this up.” ~ Kelly Ann Young Ewin ’75
“Bobby Flettrich once warned the host coach at a track meet that he ‘had a boy who might break a couple of hurdles’ and hoped they had extras. I broke one in half on the final stretch. I finished fourth, I think.” ~ Thomas M. French III ’75 “Beating Trinity Valley when D. Capper hit D. Thompson for a touchdown with no time left on the clock!” ~ Dr. Neel Ware ’76 “Running wind sprints at halftime of a Middle School game because the other team scored.” ~ Win Ryan, Jr. ’77 “Bill Baker was great to work with. He treated me as a full team member. I can brag that I lettered in basketball, which surprises my friends and family.” ~ Lisa Beth Team ’77 “Our coaches at Country Day were the best. I hold Colonel Rosacker, Coach Flettrich, Coach Stansberry and Mr. Welch close to my heart to this very day. I could go on forever telling stories about the life lessons we learned from these men that I still use today, so I will tell one of my favorite game stories. Our senior year in football we won our first eight games and our last game was against St Mark’s, whom we had never beaten. Coach Flettrich brought us in groups come to the Colonel’s office where he played the audio from opening scene of the movie Patton. After everyone (all 100+ players, managers, coaches) had listened to the tape, he marched us down to the field for pre-game warm ups. We were so pumped up, a friend of mine who played for St. Mark’s looked at me and said, ‘Oh *!#$@, we are in for a long day,’ and I responded that they were indeed. We won 34-16 (first time Country Day had ever beaten St Mark’s in football).
