Gordon resident Shelly Benben has been on a sideline as far back as she can remember. The longtime coach is hanging it up though after 37 years of coaching in the Gordon-Rushville District.
Whether it be volleyball, track, or basketball, Coach Benben has done it all from Middle School, Intramural, and High School.
Benben is a 1975 graduate from North Loup/Scotia High School. After high school, she accepted a scholarship to play basketball at Chadron State College (CSC). Benben also played softball at CSC for three years along with playing basketball.
