Coaching Wins


Recommended Posts

I remember seeing a spreadsheet with all the coaches wins, does anyone still have that?  We are specifically looking for the number of wins that Phil Thrasher of New Albany had.  He had the most for a long time, but finding records from the 50's on is difficult.

 

Any help is appreciated

 

Thanks

 

Randy

He also coached five individual IHSAA state champions. Along with starting New Albany’s program, Thrasher helped start high school wrestling programs at Floyd Central, Providence and Corydon Central.
