George Rykovich
Manitou Springs
As a coach, George Rykovich was driven to mold his athletes into being the very best person they could be. He believed in the correlation of energy output equaling desired results. There were no shortcuts to success in his program. During his 36 years as head coach, he guided the Mustangs to two CHSAA Class 2A football state championships. His single-wing offense was well known but rarely beaten, and even in retirement, he is called on by coaches across the country to share this results-proven style of play. George has been inducted into the CHSCA Hall of Fame, the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame, and the Single Wing Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
