Gary Munsen

Instead of permanently naming it after the Mitchell High School coaching legend, politics have come into play and caused a divide on the topic.

Memorial services have been scheduled for longtime Mitchell High School basketball coach Gary Munsen.

Gary Munsen passed away early Tuesday morning at the age of 72. The longtime boys and girls basketball coach in Mitchell has left a legacy that is tough to match.

Former Mitchell High School boys basketball Coach Gary Munsen was named the Boys Basketball Coach of the Year by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association at a banquet Wednesday night in Des Moines.
