Ballhawk Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Another Miner football question: I see Roy Williams was the coach for 12-13 seasons and the field is named after him. Why? The record was 54-54-7, so didn't exactly win a ton of games. Did not know his significance to the school. Not trying to be negative, but just thought it would be interesting to know a little bit more about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have been knee deep in Linton research... in spurts. I get going hard core through old papers online and library research. So far I'm only back into the 50's.... But I have a lot of info. I've seen these same unknowns for years...if I uncover anything that helps you I will certainly pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greene County Coach Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Elmer Oliphant would be distantly related to Kip Fougerousse who is currently playing at IU on a baseball scholarship. Kip didn't play HS football... at 6'3" and 200+ lbs... he might have been good. The Oliphant clan and their descendants are sort of scattered across Green County.

Thanks for sharing. Still love the story of the guy taking a break between innings of a baseball game to go run and win the 100 yard dash before returning to the baseball game.

I am positive Kip woulda been a tough kid in Football... just as I'm sure Joey Hart could be... and many others vice versa in any of the sports. I understand why but we can always speculate!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greene County Coach Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Joey Hart played up until 8th grade... he was a burner. Great straight line speed... not a big fan of running between the tackles... he would be a good wide receiver... believe it or not... he liked to hit on defense (sort of funny since most basketball coaches think the only way to slow him down on a court is to be physical with him). While we are throwing out D1 athletes at Linton that never played HS football. Josh Pyne (IU Baseball) would have been a great football player. We never could talk his mom into it (in her defense... Josh was on a D1 baseball path in JH) Even Lincoln Hale played until JH. Evan Slover (Trester Award winner in HS basketball) is probably the best recent kid to not play football. He was a beast with an insanely high football IQ. I could probably write a book on great Miner athletes who chose not to play football 😉 Braden Walters is one that I'd love to see back on the Gridiron... hopefully he will come back out as a JR. and SR.

Yeah it's a hard thing in smaller schools to deal with... and I'm sure in big schools too... it's just they have a lot more of a pool of good athletes. i know it's a tough call, and prolly doesn't help that we had happen what every parent and of course athlete fears happen when Grant Stamm had that broken ankle/leg or whatever it was on a late punt in sectionals against Tecumseh. He had gone to state finals in hurdles as you know...and was a shoe-in to go again, and maybe I'm wrong but he had scholarship for Purdue or ISU or something and was NOT going to play football... didn't as I recall come out until late and had to get practices in. But he was such a huge huge weapon and made huge plays catching the ball for Linton. But it definitely changed his path, altho I think he still recovered and ran hurdles and went to college. Its such a big thing to get college scholarship... but I do believe kids catch the hype sometimes and believe they have a path to 'stardom' or path to a Div 1 college in a certain sport "IF" they just focus on that sport and give everything else up. Yes, it can happen, but has happened so infrequently. We;ve had a few for sure... baseball and basketball... Football, with all the success on the field, hasn't produced anything like Div 1.. at least I don't think... because there just isn't the size. We've had several go on the Div 2 or smaller. I saw GAbe Eslinger (LB on the 2021 team) was offered at U of Indy. I think we'd have a lot more of that if kids were open to it. Hanover, DePauw, Franklin, Marion etc. But yeah the names you mentioned... wow! I can only imagine if kids did play football and vice versa ... the big three Football, Basketball and Baseball. I know I suffered burnout in high school and gave up baseball... not that I was a key ingredient LOL.. but heck I was an all-star all through little league!! Nearly gave up basketball because I just got tired of constant practice every day all the time. And that was then... the early 80s.. which is nothing like the dedication demanded now. And I do think that plays a big part in kids giving up on a sport or concentration on "A" sport. Summer is just insane... lifting and work outs for all three sports, clinics, camps, travel squads, individual work outs.... and you can't help but feel you get 'marked' if you aren't 100% in a sport. I think it's a lot to ask of a 15 year old... then you add a kid who maybe has to work to make money for himself....or herself.... I can sit here and dream about what Linton might have done with the likes of Joey, or Hale, or Slover, or Evan Austin, or Kip.. Walters...Pyne etc.... so many really, But I can understand the worry of parents.... Football is physical. Injuries happen. I asked Logan Webb this year before the first game of the year...."What made you want to play football"? He was a Junior, and had 2 seniors ahead of him at both his offensive and defensive position... He said "To Get Tougher". And I said that I hoped he enjoyed it and could contribute.. and he just nodded with a 'hope so". By season's end he had made several terrific plays at Wideout, saw a lot of DB action, and even punted for a few games because of injuries to the starter. I know this much.. you can't play football and fear injury. You won't ply full tilt... and then you will get hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
