On Tuesday, 1/7/25, Midwest Central honored Bob Skaggs for his selection to the 2025 IBCA Hall of Fame. Mr. Skaggs has been a face in the crowd at many of our sporting events for years. Even though his children and grandchildren might not have been playing, Mr. Skaggs was in attendance cheering the team on. The initial process for nomination was started by Monica Charlton and with the help of others, it became a reality. As a gesture of respect, the Midwest Central and Olympia boys teams lined up single file and congratulated Bob individually for this achievement. This is the sign of true sportsmanship and respect that we have amongst our teams. We are proud of Midwest Central and Olympia's young men and coaches for showing great sportsmanship in recognizing Mr. Skaggs.

Following the announcement of our former varsity players, there will be a semi competitive (with hopefully no injuries) game held between any alumni that can still hoop it up and get up and down the hardwood. We are looking forward to great evening of community and school pride!
