Your stories would be wonderful to read and incredibly meaningful for the Schlimgen family. Please note that some of these memories may also be shared during Saturday’s game broadcasts as we celebrate Coach Schlimgen’s legacy.
Thank you for helping us honor a coach who meant so much to so many. 🧡🖤

This Saturday, we honor a true Scotland basketball legend.
From 1978 to 2008, Coach Schlimgen guided countless athletes on the court as head coach of Scotland boys basketball, and also spent several impactful seasons (1992–1996) coaching girls basketball.
We invite all former players to return home and join us for a special Court Dedication Ceremony on January 10, held between the Girls Varsity and Boys Varsity games at Scotland — approximately 4:00 PM.
A meal and social hour will follow after the boys game at the VFW.
Come help us celebrate Coach Schlimgen’s incredible legacy and the many athletes he inspired.
We can’t wait to see you there! 🧡🖤
