Longtime Hersey coach Glover remembered for taking team from worst to first
Updated Feb 27, 2019 8:14 AM
Bruce Glover’s quotability lent some excellent perspective to his ability to achieve a coaching feat that remains unequaled in Illinois high school football history. Glover led Hersey to the pinnacle of being No. 1 in Class 6A in 1987 with a state title. Glover, who was one of only three Mid-Suburban League head coaches to win a state football title, died earlier this month at age 76 in Palm Desert, Calif.
