Should come as no surprise that our @greggmace had a lot of respect for Tim Rimpfel and followed him closely throughout the years. Gregg called Cumberland Valley’s 1992 championship one of the biggest wins in Midstate history–a nice stroll down memory lane @CVSDeagles pic.twitter.com/VdEF7SZDg1

Interviewed coach Rimpfel many times over the years, but my favorite memory was getting pulled over for speeding after the Big 33 game. Officer asked me who won, and I said Ohio. He blamed the players, said Tim Rimpfel would never let this happen, and then sent me on my way.
