Black Hills State University Athletics

Inducted in to the hall of fame as a coach, Terry Burgess, Class of ’72, established himself as one of the most highly respected coaches in the state of Wyoming. At BHSU, Burgess was a multi-sport athlete, playing football, baseball and wrestling for the Yellow Jackets.

Burgess said he’s loves coaching and is glad he made it his career. He is now serving as a school administrator but noted that “coaching is in his blood” and that he continues to find ways to be involved in coaching. Burgess thanked BHSU for the recognition and expressed his gratitude for coaches everywhere who care enough to make a profound difference in the lives of their students.

Burgess, and his father, Glenn, are one of only three father-son Yellow Jacket Hall of Fame inductees.
