Topeka High School grads from the 1920s to the 1960s are quite familiar with "Buck" Weaver and D.L. "Heavy" Erwin – famed educators and coaches who left indelible marks on their students. The two were contemporaries, first as coach and athlete, later as administrator and coach. They were good friends and their names will be forever linked as two of the greatest influences on Topeka sports. |
