The Remarkable Story of Barrington Baseball and the Historic 1986 High School Team

By Scott Stahmer

The 1986 Barrington High School baseball team, from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, seemingly had it all. But the team, and the school’s sports program, needed one final bit
of validation—a state championship, the first in Barrington High School’s long history.

In Forever Champions, Scott Stahmer pays tribute to the Broncos and their 40th anniversary. Stahmer, a 1977 BHS alumnus who went on to a 50-year career as a journalist, utilizes
his knowledge of the community and the school’s athletic history.
