This is also Big Timber country and the drive up the McKenzie Highway has always held as one of the most beautiful trips through both remnant...

Twain’s insightful adage well describes the team first year McKenzie Head Coach Mike Wiley inherited in 2000-01. Long time (22 seasons at that time) Eagle Head Coach Galen Scrivner decided to hand the reins of the McKenzie Boys Basketball team over to one of his past players. Indeed, Coach Wiley had played for ‘Coach Scriv’ back in the late 70’s, graduating in 1980. Scrivner didn’t step aside and leave an empty cupboard for his protég&eac...
