Hall of Fame
Al Snyder
Simla
Al Snyder started and ended his long-time coaching career with the girls basketball team at Simla. He spent his first two years as the assistant coach before resuming the head coaching duties. His 1987 team made their first appearance in the state tournament and they've been regulars ever since, winning the title in 1996 and 2010, and finishing as runners-up in 1997 and 1998. He and his wife, Sue, were both inducted together.
"This is fantastic," Snyder said. "You never think about this when you're going through coaching and teaching and all the things that you do, but this is a fantastic accomplishment. I can't think of another word that would describe it any better than that. To be honored like this with all the people that have been here before me, it's humbling."
