Monmouth College Athletics

John Lusk was a two-time All-Midwest Conference selection in both football and basketball and served as captain of both squads. He won three letters apiece in both sports and added two varsity letters in baseball while serving as captain his junior year.

A highly skilled player, Lusk played all the backfield positions in football, guard in basketball and third base in baseball. He helped direct Monmouth to an MWC basketball championship in the 1937-38 season, as the Scots reeled off 10 straight victories to secure the title.

Lusk went on to coach freshman football, basketball and track at Monmouth from 1940-42. He later coached and taught in the Illinois school districts of Mt. Carroll and Momence.
