Is Persin's a type o?

Jordan as reported by the newspaper began the year with 568.....+ 3 wins this season.

[Ironman92]

Where was Barrick before Burg?

[Ironman92]

Pat Hines.....of Whiteoak until last year should be on there with around 340

[Ironman92]

Interesting Dave Young has more wins that Kellough with 4 less seasons.

[CKIAF]

Just to help clarify - Coach Derrow has 271 wins in 22 seasons- he actually missed 6 games during the 2005-2006 season and 3 games during the 2007-2008 season due to health issues. This season he coached the first 2 games of the season.(1-1)

Isn't Gary Shaffer the coach at Washington C.H. this year?

Ironman92

Barrick is originally from up around the Coshocton area. I think he coached at McConnelsville Morgan before coming to Wheelersburg. Also, if I remember correctly his overall record there was not that impressive before arriving at the Burg. I do think he's more than made a name for himself since, though. (just a little sarcasm !!!)

[Jeff Lisath]

Joe Suboticki is currently coaching at Toledo Scott

[Ironman92]

Morgan eh?


How did he land one of the primer basketball jobs in southern Ohio.


Regardless....great hire.

Where was Barrick before Burg?

Coach Barrick spent one year as an assistant coach at Fort Frye. He then spent 4 years (1986-89) as the head coach at Jewett-Scio HS, and then moved on to Morgan HS (1990-94) before taking the head coaching position at Wheelersburg. At both J-S and Morgan, Coach Barrick's record was around 61-125 (around that). Both of these were rebuilding projects; Barrick's first season at each school were a struggle (0-3 wins); however, Barrick worked and developed these teams into consistent winners.

Thanks for the info.

No Ironman,I would say Norm has that many!He had a ton of 20 win seasons at Chesapeake!

[Chopper]

Richard Hopkins III has coached at Ports Notre Dame for the past 2 years and he won his 300th game last year.

[Ironman92]

Either Persin's win total or his ranking is incorrect

[avalanche]

I am confused on the Persin ranking. I would say he is close or past 600 by now. He was a 500 wins in what 2004 or 05?

[avalanche]

Persin is at 548 as of 1/23/09.

[danicalifornia]

Ron Lovely finished around 350 wins between Bishop Flaget, Piketon, and Unioto.

He is technically retired(coaching a 5th grade travel team) and will be inducted in the Unioto Hall of Fame tonight.

[Keyser_sozeThrice]

Carl Wolfe has at least 500

[Bassmaster]

Carl Wolfe isn't retired unless you consider coaching girl's basketball retirement
