Wayne Binfield Scottsbluff Coach. He coached in Nebraska's Panhandle schools and was extremely successful in football and track. He won football state championships at Crawford in 1930 and Alliance in 1933 and 1941 In track, his Scottsbluff teams won state championships in 1950, 1953, 1964 and 1968 and were threats to win in the years between titles. Binfield was a wily man, noted for down-home humor and successful tactics. You could expect a Binfield team to compete just as well in nasty spring weather as on a sunny day. He and fellow 1994 inductee, Dutch Zorn of Gothenburg, received a great honor from the Nebraska Coaches Association, which formed an award in their name (Dutch & Binny Award) that bestows laurels for not just winning but for being an all-around coach and person. School holds a meet in his name. Coached 42 years. |
