Adam Bohac was a stand-out athlete and student a few years back for Kimball High School, and then went on to play his college basketball for the University of Nebraska, where he won more honors and was thought highly of by his coaches and fellow teammates. His name and his achievements are still listed in the record books at Kimball high as he excelled in all three of his sports including, football, track and field and, of course, basketball.
After graduating from UNL, he went right into coaching his chosen sport. His first stop was an assistant at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. After two years, he then spent a couple of years as an assistant at Army, then back to Southern Nazarene University as the head coach, where he has been for the past 10 years.
Adams has always been a winner, and he is still a winner, and in a big way, this season. Competing in the Great American Conference, Coach Bohac led his Crimson Storm Team to a record of 24-2, which is the best in school history. He directed his team to a perfect 13-0 record inside the Sawyer Center, as well as, a 21-1 record within the GAC, a conference all-time best. Adam led the Storm to the highest ranking in school and GAC history in various polls at number 10. For directing his team to such high finishes, he was named Coach of the Year of the Great American Conference.
Not only did the Crimson Storm capture the regular season Conference honors, but this past week they swept through Conference Tournament play to run their record to 27-2, which earned them a berth into the NCAA Division Two Central Region Championship, with this prestigious Tournament being held in Maryville, Missouri, where they are the number 3 seed. When SNU won the Conference Championship, Coach Bohac picked up his 200th career win and becomes the fastest coach in school history to 200 wins and his career record now stands at 200-107. The 27 wins on the season breaks the GAC record for most wins in a season.
Next up is a contest with St. Cloud State in this Saturday's first round pairing in the NCAA Central Region Championship, so let's all be cheering for the Southern Nazarene University Crimson Storm and Coach Adam Bohac. His Kimball family and his many Kimball friends, knew all along he was, and is, a winner!
