Hall of Fame
Dwight McSpadden was a four-year letter winner in football and baseball at McPherson College. He was co-captain of the Bulldogs’ undefeated 1952 Kansas Conference championship football team. He led the KCAC in scoring two years when he first broke the McPherson College single season scoring record as a junior, ranking third nationally with 105 points. As a senior in 1953, McSpadden scored 109 points and led the nation’s four-year colleges in scoring. His 234 career points scored still ranks second on the all-time McPherson College list to his teammate Eddie Ball’s 260. McSpadden earned All-Conference second team defense and honorable mention offense honors as a junior, and second team All-Conference offense honors as a senior. After coaching Yuma, Colo., High School to the 1966 State Class AA runner-up spot, McSpadden returned to the College as head football and baseball coach for two years. Dwight will be inducted posthumously, having passed away in July of 1990.
