Kimberly played offensive and defensive end.  He was an Oregon Collegiate Conference All-Conference selection and was recognized as an honorable mention selection on the 1967 Little All-Coast Team (small colleges). Kimberly was fast and tough and never backed down on every play on both offense and defense.

Kimberly also played basketball and participated in track as an excellent discus and javelin thrower, as well as a pole-vaulter and sprinter, running both the 100 and 200 yd dashes. [It is asserted by the nominator that] Kimberly held or shared the school record in the 220, 440 rely and javelin.  

Perry played offensive and defensive end from 1964-67. He was on the field for almost every minute of every game as the coaches could not risk taking him out.  Based on the data available, Perry lead the team in pass receptions all four of his playing years and it was common for him to be credited for 9-14 tackles a game. As a sprinter on the track team, Perry was a rare combination of speed, endurance and toughness. He played full speed ahead on every play, loved contact and could hit as hard as any of our NAIA opponents. Perry did all this without sustaining a major injury and never missing a game!
