Coach Uzelac leads Benton Harbor to playoffs
Nice feature on Eliot Uzelac, former WMU football coach...

There's an older photo in the article and I wondered if any frequent posters in here could help MLive ID the players, see the link below -

There are two earlier threads on this board regarding Elliot-BH football (and columns in FREEP about them).

WMU players in the photo have been ID'd.

Sollie Boone and Pepper Powers among several former players who helped EZ.

Best written sports story this year

Yup.

Sollie out of Detroit and Pepper out of Marcellus.

Great pics of the day. Life was so much easier in black and white.

Reading the article noticed a long time friend of No as one of the Tiger Moms, Nancy Fette. Hope to touch base with her this weekend as we'll be in town for a couple.

Heard SI is going to do a story on this.

This would be a great story for ESPN 30 for 30

It would, but it wouldn't get ratings like say the 10 year anny of the Bush-Leinart SC teams. 03-puke

One of the best coaching jobs I've ever seen (from a distance, not knowing all the specifics).

Stories like this give me hope for humanity, an awesome man.

Charm we agree about that SC garbage... I do believe that Uzelac 30/30 would be great..but it is too late to gather the needed footage for this year

Here is another one on this story:

Someone said it in one of the comments, but this would make a great 30 for 30...
