Eph Markey
Mules Football/Basketball, 1917-21
Markey played football and basketball and also competed in track for the Mules from 1917-1921. He was the Mules' second-leading scorer on the 1920-21 basketball team that won the MIAA and went 22-2 for the season. Following his graduation from Central Missouri, Markey went on to be a successful high school coach in Missouri for 33 years, 29 of which were spent at Kansas City's Northeast High School. In 1984, a memorial scholarship award was established at Central Missouri in his name and is awarded each year to a designated Mules' football player. This past July Markey was inducted posthumously into the Missouri High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
