I thought it would be fun to have Coach Haege make an all-star team from all of the high school players that he has coached. There will be 11 players on defense, 11 on offense and 1 kicker. This is only coach Haege's high school all star team, it does not include the college or pro players that he has coached. Click on the link above to see who made Coach Haege's all time team.
Art Haege has coached or played on every level of the game of football for over 45 years. He has won conference championships in 3 different states as a head high school and junior college coach. Coach Haege has a reputation for making losing programs in to winners every where he has coached. In his first 9 years as a head high school coach he had a record of 54 wins, 17 losses and 2 ties. This includes coaching at 5 different high schools in 3 different states. In 1969 Coach Haege went from being the head high school coach in Two Rivers Wisconsin to being the offensive line coach at the University of Wisconsin. Coach Haege remembers the good old days when football was always played on real grass, and the football field was at least 100 yards long.
The 1967 and 1968 Two Rivers Wisconsin high school football teams are a permanent part of Art Haege's House of Football.
Here is coach Art Haege when he played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in 1963.

Coach Art Haege passed away on March 5th, 2007 of a rupture within the wall of his aoertic artery (called a disection.) Coach Haege will always be
remembered by me and many of his former players as the greatest 11 man football coach that ever lived.

Here is my Dad, coach Art Haege, with me, Dan Haege on the right #15, and my brother Frank Haege my junior season at Assumption High School in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin in 1984.
I was a 6 '6" 180 pound QB, I had a very good throwing arm but I lacked confidence. My junior season at Assumption High School we only had a 2 and 7 record, This was Coach Haege's worst season ever as a football coach. We lost games by scores of 3 to 0 and 7 to 3. But the very first game of the season I threw a 40 yard TD pass and we won 7 to 0. Coach Haege thrived on winning, and he hated losing. But he never made excuses when he lost. "Good coaches never make excuses when they lose" Coach Haege would say. "You blame yourself and your own team for the losses, you never blame anything or anyone else." That is a good lesson for every coach and team to have the next time that you lose.
Here is Coach Haege and his 1968 Two River's Wisconsin high school football team. This is coach Haege's all-time favorite team. They finished the season 8 and 0 and ranked # 4 in the state in the big high school division. Wisconsin did not have state playoffs back then. This team is without a doubt one of the best football teams in the history of high school football in the state of Wisconsin. Two Rivers' had not won more then 2 games per season in the previous 10 years prior to Coach Haege's arrival as their head coach in 1967. The 1967 team finished the season with 6 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie.

Here is Coach Haege on the left and a newspaper clipping from his 1968 Two River's Wisconsin high school football team. Coach Haege prided himself in taking a group of individuals, and making them in to a winning team. Coach Haege went on to be the offensive line coach at the University of Wisconsin in 1969.
Here is me, Dan Haege, and my Dad, coach Art Haege, my sophomore season at Assumption High School in Wisconsin Rapids Wisconsin in 1983. This team had a record of 6 and 3.
I was the backup QB on the varsity my sophomore season. In my first varsity game I was 3 for 5 passing for 47 yards and I drove our team the length of the field for a TD in a 44 to 0 win over Waupaca.
