Former RHS coach Duane "Blackie" Melvin passed away Jan. 26 in Topeka. He was a 3 sport standout at Washburn University and played minor league baseball for four years before his 38 year career as a coach and teacher. He taught and coached at Rossville in the 50s and 60s and several other area schools before spending several decades at Seaman High.
