The 1990s was a decade of dominance by several teams at Hastings College. The Bronco baseball team finished the decade with six conference titles after a 15-year absence from the diamond. The Lady Bronco volleyball team put together several nationally ranked teams and won several league titles of their own. The Bronco football team saw three new head coaches over the decade, and still tallied seven trips to the NAIA national playoffs, never finished worse than second in the conference. I sat down with three coaches of the respective teams—Patty Sitorius, former women’s volleyball coach, Jim Boeve, current head baseball coach, and Pat McCauley, associate football coach—to piece together the puzzles of the three Hastings College sports during some of their most successful times.
