A 1973 graduate of Arriba High School, which has since closed the doors and gone through consolidation, experienced a similar trend when Revere and Julesburg High Schools combined their athletic programs in declining enrollment to form Sedgwick County.  Rice set the ground work for what has become a premier program in the 8-man football ranks when he filled the role as head football coach prior to moving into retirement in 2012.

The CHSCA Hall of Fame Induction will be an addition to a long list of Coach of the Year Recognitions for Rice along with the 2013 induction into the Colorado Dugout Club Hall of Fame Induction.
