| The Brooten Buccaneers wrestling coaching staff for the 1974-1975 season. They finished 6-4-1 in duals. |
Don Larson was head coach of the Brooten Buccaneers football, wrestling and track & field teams from 1970 to 1974. He went on to coach at Sauk Centre high school after Brooten, and later he coached at North Dakota State University and finally Hamline University before he passed away unexpectedly in 2004.
Larson's 1973 team finished 9-0 overall while winning the Prairie Conference title and finishing in the Top 10 in the state rankings (fifth in Class C).
In the winter months, he and his assistant coaches laid the groundwork for what became a string of countless Prairie Conference champion Buccaneer wrestling teams. He and Coach Bud Heidgerken were founding coaches of the wrestling program in Brooten.
Below is a story on his daughter, Heidi that I stumbled across:
