Meet Our Sports Teams
Football
The McCrite family has a passion for football. Pat McCrite attended college on a football scholarship as did his son Cassidy. Both Pat and Cassidy held coaching positions at Washburn University in Topeka.
With football top of mind, we had an idea of creating our own team with the residents from our community. Comprised of eight of our toughest residents and Pat leading the team, we are proud to present the 2017 McCrite Plaza football squad. Click below to view our football commercial!
Baseball
After creating the football commercial in 2017, Pat decided to keep the sports fever going and began recruiting a baseball team.
But injuries happen in sports, especially at this age. Thankfully, McCrite Plaza’s rehabilitation center comes to the rescue and gets our players safe at home.
Comprised of seven of our toughest residents (in addition to our eight from the football team) and Pat leading the team, we are proud to present the 2018 McCrite Plaza baseball team. Click below to view our baseball commercial!
Donald Brown – Football
An avid outdoors man, Donald Brown, spent many hours fishing, hunting, and gardening. When he wasn’t providing handy-man tasks around the house, he and his wife, Mary, enjoyed going to movies, spending time with friends and family and landscaping their four acre homestead together. As residents of McCrite Plaza they enjoy discovering new social groups and making friends, which comes easily to both Mary and Don. Mary admits to not watching much football, but Don’s late-in-life introduction to playing has not deterred him. His enthusiasm for the game makes him a valuable member of the team.
Delno Malmstrom – Football
Delno joined the McCrite Plaza family 3 years ago. His lifetime career as a chiropractor mentally prepared him for the concentration required on the football field. His favorite activities at McCrite Plaza include: exercise and balance classes and mornings on the putting green.
Gary Shofner – Baseball
Gary joined the McCrite Plaza family 1 year ago and brought along some previous baseball experience with the American Legion baseball team. Gary’s favorite activities in the community are cards and happy hour. In his free time, Gary enjoys watching sports and fishing.
Harry TenEyck – Baseball
Harry joined the McCrite Plaza family 3 years ago. He played baseball for 2 years in high school, so he’s the professional out there. In addition to hitting home runs, Harry was the champion of McCrite Plaza’s putting tournament in 2017 and 2018. In his free time, Harry enjoys hunting, fishing, watching sports, and playing cards.
