One of the touching moments of the event was the heartfelt tribute paid to former Head Football coach, Gene Schlekeway, with the gracious presence of Schlekeway's family adding a deeply personal touch to the occasion. To honor the significant contributions of Gene Schlekeway, Josh Breske and the BHSU football team proudly displayed a special "GS" sticker on their helmets during the BHSU vs. Southwest Baptist season opener game held on September 7th.
The Schlekeway family wanted to share this message;
"On behalf of Coach Schlek's family, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Yellow Jacket community for the constant and unwavering support we have received since the passing of our father. Dad LOVED this university and supported its athletes in all their endeavors. We can think of no other honor that would mean more to him than his Beloved Yellow Jackets Football Team wearing his initials this season. It also means the world to his wife and family. So... Let's have a SPECTACULAR season and let's GO WIN SOME FOOTBALL GAMES!Â
Go, Jackets!
Sincerely,
The Schlekeway Family"
