Chadron State College Athletics

Like Dale Drahota and Rick Nave, Timperley came from Pierce to play football at Chadron State and were inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. Timperley started at inside linebacker three years. He led the team in tackles as a junior with 101 and as a senior with 127. He earned all-district honors and was an NAIA All-American honorable mention as a junior in 1971. He played just as well the following year, but shared the spotlight with fellow linebacker Don White, who recovered eight fumbles that season.
Timperley was the track and field coach and an assistant football coach at Hastings College and chairman of the Health and Physical Education Department at Morningside College before moving with his wife, the former Leanna Scott of Hay Springs to Santa Fe, N.M., a few years ago to raise Arabian horses. Leanna was a Chadron State cheerleader and is a medical doctor.
