In this episode of 93 Counties, hosts Seth Stutzman and Camden Otto take you inside the incredible rise of the Johnson-Brock Eagles boys’ basketball team. This small-school powerhouse defied the odds to win three straight Nebraska state championships. Through exclusive interviews with players and coaches, they explore how a rural program built a winning culture, the impact of youth development, the deep ties between the team and its town, and what’s next after the legendary Coach Lucas Dalinghaus steps down. It’s a story of determination, teamwork, and the lasting legacy of high school sports in a close-knit community.
