A Championship Trio from David City

For the first time on Legends Rock, we welcome three guests at once, so you know it’s a special trio. Joining the show are Dick Muma, Bob Martin, and Jim Eberly—the leaders of the legendary 1972 David City Scouts [https://www.davidcitypublicschools.org/] basketball team, a group that captured the school’s first state basketball championship and capped off an unforgettable run. We dig into what made David City special from the origin of the “Scouts” nickname to the balance, toughness, and belief that powered a 21–2 season against a schedule loaded with Class B competition. With one of the state’s best coaches at the helm and a roster where every starter could be the high scorer on any given night, this team was built to win. The conversation revisits the thrilling state tournament run, including a first-round shootout with Hastings St. Cecilia, a semifinal win over Louisville, and the championship victory over Norfolk Catholic—where all-state standout Bob Martin delivered one of the most dominant all-around seasons in Class C history. We also reflect on the broader legacy: • A program that hadn’t reached state in 21 years • A coaching family that shaped Nebraska basketball • Players who went on to coaching, college success, and even professional football • And memories that still resonate more than 50 years later This episode is part history lesson, part reunion, and part celebration of what happens when the right people come together at the right time. A true Nebraska hoops classic, told by the men who lived it. This is another Hurrdat Media Production. Hurrdat Media is a podcast network and digital media production company based in Omaha, NE.
