Gene Boteler Mr. Boteler taught social studies at Sherwood for 38 years from1969-2007. In retire-ment, he is still a fixture at the school as a substitute teacher and supporter of athletics. He is an avid fan of Sherwood High School in general and an even greater fan of its student athletes and their teams. He regularly attends multiple Sherwood sporting events including all play-off games around the state for various sports. He could always be depended on to be well-versed in any given team’s strategies and pitfalls, often filled with his own quick-witted observations and anecdotes.

Mr. Boteler started announcing football games in 1974 and has missed only one home football game in 40 years. Known as the “Voice of Sherwood” he is still calling games every season. As a touch stone between the old and the new, Gene is steadfast in a legacy of continu-ity and longevity. Every conversation with Gene is sure to be studded with remembrances of

previous faculty, coaches or athletes ensuring that their accomplishments are not forgotten. We hope that he will remain as the Voice of Sherwood for years to come and know that if he ever gets cut, you can bet that he’ll bleed Blue and White.

From the Founders

The Athletic Hall of Fame (AHOF) was established to honor and preserve the legacy of athletes,

coaches, teams, and “friends” of Warrior athletics who have excelled in the past and inspired others to

achieve greatness in their own future. Myself and others envisioned creating the AHOF in the fall of 2008.

A year later, the AHOF was on its way to being created when it was enthusiastically endorsed by Sher-

wood’s Warrior Club. At its inception, a committee was formed to develop by-laws and an operational

framework to begin a call for nominations. Thanks to the efforts of Warren Crutchfield, Marshall Dauber-

man, Lou Altobelli, Steve Bolen, Ronnie Estrain, Bart Popeck, Laura Rhode, David Septoff, and myself,

our inaugural class was selected in June 2010. It is a privilege to honor the dedication, teamwork, support,

and achievement of these and future inductees who have set the foundation for success and tradition of

Sherwood athletics.
