Former City High football star Dan MCarney will be indicted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame later this month.
Perhaps known best for his coaching accomplishments, McCarney was a first-team all-state lineman and multi-sport star for the Little Hawks through his graduation in 1971. City High improved with McCarney’s on-field leadership, going 0-9 in Mississippi Valley Conference play in 1968, then going 8-1 and winning the conference in 1970. He became a three-year starter on the offensive line at the University of Iowa under coach Bob Commings before spending 11 years coaching for Hayden Fry and becoming the longest-tenured and winningest coach in Iowa State football history.
McCarney will be among those inducted at the UNI-Dome on Friday, November 19th.
