career in basketball, but he also coached Regis’ football to a 70-11-5
mark. He also served as athletic director at the school for 12
years and was dean of students for many years. He was also an
exceptional official, working numerous high school playoff and college
bowl games.

have garnered five state team titles, while his girls have picked up
four. And his boys cross country teams have a pair of state team

- Not many people will recognize the name Ronnie Shavlik, but he may have
been the greatest high school layer to come from Colorado. A unanimous
all-conference and all-state player for three years in 1950, 1951 and
1952, Shavlik’s teams won two straight state titles. He then went on to
play at North Carolina State where he earned All-America recognition and
became a first round draft pick of the New York Knickerbockers. By the
time he finished college he would hold a place in nearly every category
in the ACC record book. He held the scoring records at NCSU until David
Thompson broke them nearly two and a half decades later. He still holds
the school rebounding record.

- It is time to give Eulalia Skinner her due as a pioneer girls’ coach and
official. Skinner, as she is known far and wide in southwestern
Colorado, brought girls’ athletics to the southwestern part of the
state. She started out with the typical “playdays” where no score was
kept, but help bring the level of skill and competition to its current
form. The development of Skinner’s programs for girls was a methodical
process that took several years to accomplish. She started with the
“Playdays” in the 1950s and included girls from all over the region.
These “playdays” became “sportdays” in the late 1950s and became more
refined as the girls’ skills developed, primarily in basketball and
volleyball.

- Larry Vibber is a veritable icon within the Colorado High School
Activities Association. Over his 40 years as superintendent with Fowler
schools, Vibber has served in nearly every capacity with the
Association. At the same time, his high school has won 28 state
championships in six different boys and girls’ sports. He was presented
with the Colorado Association of School Executive’s Colbert Cushing
Award (CASE), the highest honor that organization can bestow.
