I'm a bit late in finding this site. I worked after school for Coach D.C. I typed referee contracts, etc. The basketball team won the State Championships my first two years at CBC. What a team watch.

Coach D.C. Wilcutt set a great example for the young men at CBC. He was a kind and caring person.

He sometimes gave me tickets to see the St. Louis Hawks play. I got to see Bob Pettit play, who is a big sports hero where I now live in Baton Rouge.

Steve and Family,
DC was a great guy. Many a night I sat with Viv during his games and loved every minute of it. They were a perfect example of a happily married couple. I am sure he was lost without her and she would have felt the same way.
I will never think of CBC and not remember him.
Fondly,
Nancy(Bernsen)spehr
