HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE TOM McKINNEY HONORED BY BHSN

BHSN Alumni Home

Tom McKinney was inducted into the Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Fame March 2006.

Tom McKinney coached the "last" state champion, some diehards say.

McKinney's 1997 Bloomington North team won the last of the 87 "open" boys' state high school basketball tournaments, before class basketball began in Indiana the next season. A native of Columbus, where he was a sophomore reserve on Bill Stearman's No. 1-ranked 1964 team that was unbeaten until the state semifinals, McKinney was a 25-year head coach, with a record of 415-168. The last 17 of those head-coaching years were at Bloomington North, where his teams won nine sectionals, two regionals, and two semi-states. His 1999-2000 team, which included current NBA players Jared Jeffries and Sean May, was undefeated until losing to Marion (and NBA star Zach Randolph) in the 4A championship game. McKinney coached five other Indiana All-Stars (Jeffries and May each was "Mr. Basketball"). He retired as North coach in 2004.

The Bloomington North Athletic Department recognized him at a boys varsity basketball game earlier in the season.

See the Tuesday 3/21 article in the HT paper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tom McKinney Gymnasium Floor 2005

The BHSN Main/East Gymnasium Floor was renamed in Honor of former Boys Basketball Head Coach Tom McKinney, on Friday, February 18, 2005.

New boys basketball head coach Andy Hodson presented this honorable request personally to the school board, which approved this action. Additionally Asst Athletic Director/Asst Coach Curt Simic and Principal Jim Rollins submitted a proposal to bestow this honor on Coach McKinney.

HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE JEANNINE BUTLER HONORED BY BHSN

BHSN Alumni Home

The Bloomington North Athletic Department invited the entire Cougar family to join on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 as Dr. Jeannine Butler was honored.

Dr. Butler served North for many years as an educator, administrator, friend and pioneer in the field of women’s athletics.

April 2006, she will be inducted in to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

On Tuesday, January 31, following the Girls’ Basketball Senior Night ceremony and prior to the Lady Cougars’ varsity basketball game vs. Edgewood, BHSN honored Dr. Butler for her outstanding contributions and Hall of Fame induction.

The Bloomington community was invited to join, to say thank you to a special woman.

    REUNION Planning Guide

    CONTACT US FOR HELP IN PLANNING YOUR REUNION!

    Be it the 5th, 10th, 25th, 30th, or 35th, a reunion is one of the best ways to rekindle the memories and friendships made. And as has been seen, there are many kinds, lengths and locations of reunions. Remember to have fun, enjoy sharing with friends, your memories, and the special time you spend here in Bloomington!

    Following are HELPFUL HINTS and suggestions to help ease planning and ensure a great time!

    SELECT THE CO-CHAIRPERSONS Committee:

    Try to include at least three members of the group, to take on the responsibilities of event chairpersons and treasurer, to sign all contracts and bank accounts. Class Officers are not historically the ones who keep class reunions going, it is local classmates who have the interest.
    Never allow one person to control all contracts and accounts.

    SELECT SUB-COMMITTEES for other individual jobs:

    Location arrangements, reservations, food, decorations, printed program, speakers, entertainment, invitations, photography, accommodations, publicity chairman, memory book chairman, name tags and awards.

    DECIDE DATE and PLACE:

    It is important to select the date and place early - at least a year or 18 months in advance, depending on the place and type of event.
    Consider "fun" dates such as Homecoming or North vs South games.
    Most CONTRACTS must be signed one year in advance.

    GATHER NAMES, ADDRESSES:

    Contact BHSN ALUMNI for a class list.
    Return the updated list to BHSN ALUMNI after the reunion event, for safekeeping in the Alumni database.

    SET a PRELIMINARY BUDGET, taking into consideration cost of:

    Bar, centerpieces, entertainment, food, gifts, invitation postage and printing, location, nametags, pictures, prizes, room size, speakers, tables, videos.
    Determine a creative way to make money for the event, consider a silent auction or sell Ad space in printed program at $25 per business card.

    PLAN EVENT:

    Make a time line of necessary steps and tasks, including making site reservations, dates for printing and mailing, making nametags and setting up for the event.

    Offering activities to accommodate families may ensure a better turnout. If an overnight stay is planned, try to arrange for group rates at a local hotel or motel. Consider arranging for babysitting service.

    Be creative when planning. The possibilities are endless! Have a theme, display memorabilia, conduct a silent auction and use the proceeds to benefit the reunion, or present awards or assemble a songbook.

    SEND INVITATIONS:

    COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Give as much information as possible in each mailing to build interest. Request help in locating members of the reunion group. List members found or planning to attend to build excitement. Invite members their significant others and/or families.

    Send the invitation at least eight to sixteen weeks in advance. Be sure to include: the final response date necessary to confirm attendance, cost, hotel/motel information, mention any special guests or if babysitting is available.
