N.D. (AP) – Legendary Dakotas high school and college coach Rollie Greeno is being inducted into the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame.
The banquet is Saturday at the Sioux Falls Convention Center. The late Greeno is among 20 inductees.
Greeno was a teacher and coach for 52 years – 37 of them at what is now the University of Jamestown, where the football field is named in his honor. His teams won 81 conference championships in football, wrestling, track and field, and cross country.
Greeno was named college coach of the year in North Dakota in 1967 and 1985. He is a member of a number of other halls of fame, including the North Dakota Sports and NAIA Football Coaches halls.
Greeno died five years ago at the age of 84.
