For Star subscribers: The Panthers were the last Tucson school to win the state boys track championship at Arizona’s highest classification.
Greg Hansen If all had gone smoothly, Amphitheater High School might’ve won five consecutive state track and field championships at Arizona's big-schools level, 1985-89.

Bates won a bronze medal at 200 meters at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and then became a five-time Pro Bowl football player in the NFL. It wasn’t all the Bates brothers, either. Teammate Kurt Browning was third in the long jump, Ed Mandelburg was fifth at 1,600 meters and discus thrower Kurt Nelson was sixth. In two years, Bates had won six state championships while becoming perhaps Arizona’s leading prep football player."People say I'm going to burn out or something," said Bates."But I don’t think that will happen. I’m just going to keep getting faster and stronger.
A rival sprinter athlete reported that he saw a handful of Panthers jogging and exercising at the track. A day later, the Arizona Interscholastic Association ruled those nine Amphi athletes ineligible for the rest of the year. It was like issuing a ticket for driving 56 mph in a 55 mph zone. At Arizona, Bates became a school-record holder in the 100 and 200 meters, winning Pac-10 championships in both events in 1990 and 1991 before leaving school to concentrate on the 1992 Olympics and then prepare for the NFL draft.

Yet his indie sensibility hasn't dimmed his stardom (or lowered his salary).
