ITs been quiet up on the hill this off-season so far… what’s going on with Ramos-Elias and company? Is Oliva still wondering campus? They gonna make it official this year?
Are the rumors true? SV got two head coaches?
Coach Mahlstede achieved something very unique in his long term football coaching career. I am not 100% positive on this, but I think I am very close to it (if wrong; correct me) This coach was super successful at Santa Fe in the 1970’s; very successful; his success based on winning percentage was consistent. I believe he stopped head coaching for several years when he wanted to watch his son in college (if my memory is correct).. Santa Fe’s football program took a hit , statistics wise, while Mahlstede was gone. He returned as head coach a few years later and ????? guess what? Santa Fe winning football returned immediately. I call that a great communicator and coach
Jack Mahlstede was a crusty old-school coach who affected many young lives during his time at Santa Fe. Earlier this week, the school’s band and cheerleaders performed the fight song in front of his house, to cheer him in his fight with a particularly aggressive form of cancer. I wish his wife of 59 years Billie and her sons great comfort in this time of mourning.
