Cavemen, Knights and Pilots: Where Each Team Is Told

THE LIFT APPARATUS · THE SURVEY LEG'S DEEP TEAMS, POINTED TO, NOT RE-DUG

The disposition, stated plainly: This survey leg dug its three deep teams whole itself, in the entries below-named. This article is the index that lift runs on: each deep team, its full treatment in Sports, and its halls-of-fame record in this build's halls-of-fame leg.

The Mishawaka Cavemen (Mishawaka High School): Full treatment in Sports: the Cavemen name's two tellings; Steele Stadium; football's first era and Frank Steele; the finals ledger; the Backyard Brawl and the Marian series; boys and girls basketball; the Anderson volleyball dynasty; wrestling under Al Smith and Darrick Snyder; cross country's 1946 co-championship; and the athletes' entries (Fitzsimmons, the football pros, Rohrer, Versyp, Robin Hood). Halls-of-fame record: the Mishawaka High School Athletic Hall of Fame (begun 1986, the oldest of the city's three institutional halls) and its documented members stand in the halls-of-fame leg, with the school's names in the state halls — basketball's Versyp and LeRoy Johnson, football's Steele, Canfield's cross-reference at Marian, Maggioli and Ehlers, Fitzsimmons in the state baseball hall — enumerated there name by name.

The Marian Knights (Marian High School): Full treatment in Sports: the Hecklinski football titles of 1973–76; volleyball's 1973 title and the four Dan Anderson finals; basketball's 2022 final and the NBA pipeline; girls soccer's five finals and two titles; and the athletes' entries for Jackson, Cannady and Ivey and for Zander Horvath. Halls-of-fame record: the Marian High School Hall of Fame stands in the halls-of-fame leg — Bob Otolski's induction (2000 in the Indiana Football Hall of Fame's page for him, 2001 in the University of Indianapolis's; both printed there, the school roll unpublished), Mary Hums (2009), and Mike Lightfoot, whose Marian induction year is not in the record reached.

The Bethel Pilots (Bethel University): Full treatment in Sports: the Pilots name and the forty-eight-title ledger, recomputed; the Lightfoot basketball era and the three NAIA titles; Bethel beyond basketball — Martinez's six women's titles, the track program's fifteen, the 2022 men's soccer title, and the rest of the ledger sport by sport. Halls-of-fame record: Bethel University's Dr. Albert J. Beutler Athletic Hall of Fame (inaugural class 1994) stands in the halls-of-fame leg with its documented classes, and with Lightfoot's and Homer Drew's national enshrinements — Lightfoot in the NAIA Hall of Fame (2009, also in this section's basketball entry) and Drew's in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
