Kansas High School Football Huddle
My condolences and prayers go out to to the Herrington High School, its football team and Bud Peterson's family.
Coach Peterson died from in the hospital where he was reportedly being treated for pneumonia symptoms. With its 61-year old coach in the hospital, the Railers took to the field against West Franklin, falling behind 10-0 at halftime.
In the locker room at half, the Topeka Capital-Journal reports that assistant coach informed the team that their leader had passed away.
How did the team honor its coach?
Herrington scored three unanswered touchdowns to win 21-10 to improve to 2-0 on the season.
Peterson was a head coach for over 40-years in Kansas. In 1997, he led Centre to the Eight-Man Division I state title. His career record was 164-109
