The 1979-80 Nezperce Indians boys’ basketball team, which placed second to Culdesac in the Idaho State Class A-4 Tournament, is shown in this team photo. The team’s head coach was Max Bradley, whose funeral is Saturday in Nezperce. The highlight of Bradley’s long coaching career was watching his sons Clarke and Craig contribute to win the state tournament two consecutive years, 1977-78 and 1978-79. Pictured are, from left, top row: Craig Bradley and Dana Schmitz; second row: Coach Max Bradley, Scot Schlader, John Lundeby, Kurt Braun, Chris Braun and Coach Ron Boyer; third row: Drew Leitch, Dale Gephart, Jim Buttrey, John Marker and Lonn Leitch; front row: Managers Dan Brown and Doug Grant.Courtesy of Mike Tatko
