The Legends of the Game program was established in 2001 to honor outstanding basketball teams. Teams are honored in ceremonies at halftime of the 5A state basketball championship game. Team members receive commemorative medallions and plaques while their schools receive Dairy West championship banners.
The IHSAA is pleased to honor the 2024 girls’ basketball “Legends of the Game”, the 1991 Shelley Russets. This team won the A-2 girls’ basketball State Championship for SHS, under the tutelage of legendary head coach Newell Sargent. Loaded with upperclassmen, the ’91 Russets shocked the undefeated Jerome Tigers to win it all!
The ’91 Lady Russets inspired future generations of student-athletes in their community. Congratulations to these great “Legends of the Game”!
The IHSAA is pleased to honor the 2024 boys’ basketball “Legends of the Game”, the 1992 Malad Dragons. The pride of their community, the ’92 Dragons posted a perfect 26-0, undefeated season, capping it off with a State Championship win. Head Coach Terry Jones was inducted into the IHSAA Hall of Fame in 2009.
Congratulations to these great “Legends of the Game”!
