Although we graduated nine years earlier, some of us knew Coach McBroom. Here's a news article: Craig McBroom, a former Ada High School football coach, died March 9th, 2003. He was 77. He served in the 45th Division during the Korean War. He taught and coached at Ada's Glenwood Elementary School and coached at Ada Junior High School before becoming the head football coach at Ada High in 1959. McBroom guided the Ada Cougars to six state titles over 19 seasons. During his tenure from 1959 to '70 and 1973 to '79, McBroom's teams won 157 games. He is survived by his wife, Ann McBroom; two sons, Gary McBroom and Larry McBroom, both of Ada; a daughter, Patty Harrison of Ada; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
