I first met Coach Huth when I was eight years old and Coach Huth was my summer instructional baseball coach. We practiced on the fields behind the "new" Lowe Junior High. I rode my bike to practice each day and then rode through the fairground barns after practice. Great days. Thanks, Coach. I'll miss you.

Members of the 1965 MHS Track Team were blessed to have had Coach Bill Huth and earlier in 1964, Coach Steve Jordan, as their leaders. Bill was a kind humble Christian man and his sincerity went a long way with me and with the other members of that state championship team. Rest in Peace Coach Bill Huth. You are missed greatly.
