About Player
Damon Benning
By his own admission, Damon Benning has yet to settle comfortably into his new job as head football coach at Omaha Northwest High School.

About Player
I.M. Hipp
Isaiah Hipp never had much use for golf when Jeff Brown first asked if he would be interested in playing. Brown was a contractor who was doing some work for Hipp. A persistent sort, Brown wasn't going to take no for an answer. Brown invited, Hipp declined. Brown asked again, Hipp declined. Repeat cycle. "Finally I said, 'Why not?' So he got me out,'' Hipp recalls. That was six years ago, when Hipp came out swinging somewhat naturally but as if holding...
