BILL SUDEK          AHS Class of 1944
          
Before his AHS graduation in 1944, the late Bill Sudeck played basketball and baseball. According to friends his true love was basketball. He enrolled at Kent State University where he was the Golden Flashes’ leading scorer in basketball, graduating in 1948. At Kent, he was also an outstanding baseball player and after a tryout with the Chicago Cubs, he was offered a minor league contract.  Instead of signing, he decided to coach.  And coach he did, for the next 37 years, first at the former Case Institute of Technology, and then at Case Western Reserve University.
           During his team’s best season (1998-1999) his basketball team won a school record 17 games.  Another milestone in his coaching career occurred on February 11, 1998 when his team won its 300th game with Sudeck as head coach.  He was also head coach of men’s track and field and cross-country teams, winning five North Coast Athletic Conference titles—two each in men’s cross country and men’s indoor track and one more in men’s outdoor track. He won NCAC Coach of the Year honors in all three sports in the 1993 season and was the honoree in men’s cross country in the fall of 1994.
            Coach Sudeck died earlier this year.
