Dave Rice is the successful UNLV basketball coach in his 2nd year where he played and was an assistant for 11 years.   Basically a 6th man Dave was on the 1989-1990 NCAA Champion his last year was 1990-1991 and in his last home game Tark started all 6 seniors taking the "T."  All the Kickers are White Today's Black Guys think they're too good to kick a football.  Akron's Gene Mingo went to Akron South and entered the pros after playing Service Ball in the Marines (I've often thought I knew how to read and do math good by 6th Grade so who needs college)  and was the lst and about the only Black Kicker in the AFL and NFL.  Gene led the Denver Broncos to the AFL's lst win by scoring on a punt return against the Patriots this was 1960 and Mingo led the AFL in Scoring by running it in from his halfback position catching TD passes throwing TD passes and kicking field goals and he sold popcorn.  He also led the League in Scoring in 1962.  Mingo had an illustrious and long career from 1960-1970.  Akron has always been sort of a Backwater but has turned out some individuals (me).  Gene is still with us at "74" and still holds the Broncos' Record of 82 yards for the longest run from scrimmage.
