#1...The celebration begins!

Describing the feeling is almost impossible. It is one of those, "You had to be there!" situations. 1984 State Champs! We did it! Not many thought we could; even fewer thought we would, but we did! Years will pass before we realize what we've done.

Yes, it is "we". We did it. We is the varsity- seniors, juniors, fans, scouts, radio listeners, all of Nemaha Valley- in fact, all of Seneca!

Particularly for our coaches and players the emotional feeling and thrill of victory will remain forever. All the hard work, all the practice, all the good times (and a few of the bad) all went together to give the word champions a special meaning.

It is over now, but the memories will last forever. 1984 Raiders- Nemaha Valley's first team state champion. Friendships, special feelings, relationships, and memories will go on forever. Almost every basketball season ends with a loss, but in 1984 the agony of the last defeat never came.

Thanks...for everything...our '84 season will never end...a great class with a lot of class...
Coach Getzlaff
