Cougars sweep No.2 Trojans at 'Herk' Field

Bill Herkelman did not want to make any fancy speeches Monday night. In fact, he was afraid all the fuss being made about the newly christened "Herk Field" at Kennedy would detract from the games being played between the Cougars and Iowa City West.

Hundreds of his friends, former Kennedy players and admirers were delighted to honor the loveable "Herk," the man who spent 52 years in a classroom and a major portion of his life as a Kennedy head coach and now an assistant.

Kennedy renamed the field in Herkelman's honor Monday as a lasting tribute to his contributions to the Cougars and the game he loves.
