Winning coach passes away Feb. 3

When news of the passing of Coach Larry Markley reached Marquette recently, there were many memories that came to mind for members of the 1960-61 Marquette High School football team. Markley was fresh out of Bethany College and starting his coaching career as the Marquette High School football coach. The 1960 team was undefeated and un-scored upon. It is quite a record that few Kansas teams have overcome to this day. Coach Markley received the league certificate of honor and was inducted with his team into the Kansas Sports Museum/Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, now located in Wichita, in 2010.
