The @WashMystics came to Maine West to honor @AngelaDugalic as her No. 32 jersey was retired at the school. The pride of Des Plaines got a lot of love from the crowd and her former teammates and coaches.

Congratulations to Mr Grams – you have touched so many lives in your career and I was lucky enough to be one of them. You wrote the book on coaching kids as people first. I have learned so much from you and all that you have given to high school sports! Incredible legacy!

In August 1976, Ken Grams took over the Elk Grove basketball program on an interim basis. 50 years later he retires as the winningest softball coach in @IHSA_IL history. Congrats to one of the true good guys in HS sports. martymaciaszek.substack.com/…
