Coach Reese dedicated over 40 years of his life to Loomis football and the game of Eight-Man football. In a span that lasted from 1979 to 2020, Denis compiled a career coaching record of 195 wins and 175 losses. During that same time, he led 20 of his teams to the state playoffs, won 10 conference and district titles, and his 1998 Wolves team finished the season as the Class D-2 State Runner-up. Coach Reese also served the NEMFCA organization for many years as both Vice-President and President and he was honored as an assistant coach for the West in the 1989 All-Star Game. A decade later, Denis would return to serve as Head Coach of the West for the 1997 game. Through the years, Coach Reese had multiple All-State players and was responsible for sending 14 of them to compete in the All-Star Game. He also saw several Wolves go on to play both small college and major college football at locations such as: The University of Nebraska, UNK, Doane, and both Concordia and Midland Universities. Denis retired after the 2020 season, but he still takes great pride in the relationships he built with fellow coaches, as well as the number of former players that went on to become both positive and successful citizens (including his son Aaron). The NEMFCA is honored to now welcome him into the Eight Man Football Hall of Fame class of 2022.
