Word on the street, or I should say in the sky, is pending an upset of St. Francis this will be the last game Allen HC Dave "Big Eagle" Uldrich will coach in his career. Dave has been at Allen since 1982 and will continue to teach.
Last flight for Big Eagle...

Never met the man in my life, but I will applaud something like this every time I see it. Congratulations to Coach Uldrich. Nearly 40 years of impact on a small rural community...tough to measure the number of lives he influenced.

Have not heard anything on whether or not this will be his last game, but we will see the end of another high school football program tonight if Allen were to get beat.
Next season they will join with Emerson-Hubbard to become the Tri County Northeast Wolfpack. Call me old fashioned, but I am growing to miss the days of old when every little small town sent out their football team on Friday nights.
I know demographics and populations are shifting and this is inevitable, but for the first time, I feel like I'm becoming the old timer thinking back to his past.
