Message   Coach Raarup has been a mentor for me, and one of the reasons I have chosen coaching college football as a profession. I played for him, he gave me my first college assistant position and helped me grow, and he agreed to serve on my staff the past 11 years as an assistant. His knowledge, passion, and love for the game, along with his consistent approach, is an example for all of us in coaching. We will miss him deeply! Jay Schoenebeck and staff: Tom Brown, Greg Roberts, Bob Southworth, Chuck Larsen, Matt Royer, Lance Taylor, Brent Staples, Travis Armstrong, Nate Bannick, and Chris Bannick.
“Coach George Smith is not only an influence on young people, but the influence is multiplied many times in the beliefs of the young people he helped mold into amazing human beings. George is an outstanding coach, but more importantly, he is an outstanding gentleman.” —Tina Jones, Principal of St. Thomas Aquinas High School
