Eye Popping Coaching Stats

[LegendatLegion 109]

Alcoa today won the 3A State title in Tennessee 20-0 over Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) of Nashville

It was the 14th State title for Alcoa. Their coach Gary Rankin won his 11th overall, and 7th at Alcoa in 10 years. He had previously won 4 at Riverdale. His overall record is a Tennessee State record 383-71 (only 8 coaches ever have won 400 games at the high School level) his record at Alcoa is 131-14. Alcoa was 14-1 their only loss was to 6A power and county rival Maryville 20-14.

 

Maryville (14-0) plays Ravenwood in the 6A final tomorrow. Maryville's coach George Quarles is in his 18th year and has an overall record of 234-14. He has 11 State titles. His tenure has included a 74 game win streak from 2004-2008.

 

I know that Chippie Chappell had an overall record of 119-9-1 at Central Lunenburg in VA at one point.

I heard Rankin (and his strength coach) speak at a clinic last year. He's awesome.

James Colley won somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 games at Haysi.

Belfry High School in KY is playing for their 5th State Title this weekend. Belfry is about a 50 minute to hour drive from Hurley. Head Coach Phillip Haywood of Belfry, goes for win 403 this weekend in the 3A State Title game vs. Lexington Catholic. Coach Haywood is 402-128 for his career at Prestonsburg and Belfry. This makes his 11th trip to the state finals with a record of 4-6 in the finals. Belfry beat Pikeville (34-8), Johnson Central (41-0) and Knoxville Catholic (38-14) and those 3 teams are playing for state titles with Pikeville already winning the 1A KY State title Thursday night. Belfry's only lost was to Cabell Midland which has roughly 1900 kids compared to 700 kids or so for Belfry. This makes Belfry's 6th straight title game appearance. Just a bunch of mountain boys running the wing-t that is coached by a legend and one hell of a fine man.

[BigWinners 1,643]

Dang, if Phil had coached one more year, he could have ended up in second place all-time in VHSL wins. Pretty impressive.

 

Is he second all-time in state titles behind Mike Smith?

[cowboysnskynyrd 74]

Yes, he is. What's impressive is that Powell Valley and Appalachia, 4th on the list btw, have 14 combined. Future looks bright for Union football.

[sup_rbeast 296]

Dang, if Phil had coached one more year, he could have ended up in second place all-time in VHSL wins. Pretty impressive.

It's even more impressive when you consider his record vs. 5-6 coaches on that list. It's not like his total coaching wins at PV came preying on the Sisters of the Poor... Year in year out PV played all comers and had one of if not the toughest schedule in SWVA. The 3-0 vs. Chappell is particularly impressive when you consider that Chappell made the finals with Lunenburg nearly every year from the early 80's through the early 90's.

[cowboysnskynyrd 74]

I agree. PV definitely had some of the greatest teams ever. I know I'm showing my old age, but the hardest hit I ever received came from Eupton Jackson. The sad part (for me anyhow) was that he had the ball.

Buddy of mine used to play at Belfry. To say he thinks the world of Phillip Haywood is an understatement.

Belfry is up 36-0 at halftime over Lexington Catholic. Game is tonight due to WKU game yesterday.

[JDHoss 249]

Belfry is up 36-0 at halftime over Lexington Catholic. Game is tonight due to WKU game yesterday.

 

Yeah, my buddy just sent me a text about it. If there not a game you want to go to in SWVA on any given Friday, it's worth the drive over to watch the Pirates play if they are at home.

[MrSocko 136]

Belfry 43

Lexington Catholic 0 Final

 

I have went a few times to the Cam. It's a really good place to watch a game and really good environment.

[JDHoss 249]

Been there as well as the old place, which could be a real mud hole if it rained. My buddy played there back in the late 80's early 90's. His nephew played there a few years ago as a WR/DB. 

[redtiger 1,742]

If there not a game you want to go to in SWVA on any given Friday, it's worth the drive over to watch the Pirates play if they are at home.

I watched them on tv earlier in the season, did not look like your typical Eastern KY/SWVA team. In terms of athleticism in the backfield and size up front as impressive of a team as ive seen locally. I meant to get over to KY and watch a game but never did. Thats on my to do list for next season

[cowboysnskynyrd 74]

James Colley won somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 games at Haysi.

[cowboysnskynyrd 74]

Before they closed the doors for good, Haysi had 305 (Thanks Researcher) football victories. James Colley was running his version of Emory and Florida State for 247 of them.

I have heard him a few times.  Once when he was the head coach at Riverdale.  I thought he was a little narcissistic for my taste.  On the other hand, Quarles is pretty much a total 180.  I did have a chance to watch the Maryville game.  Three turnovers hurt any chance they had to win.

Norman Lineberg was 15-14-1 at William Byrd. Andrew Lewis had to forfeit all of their 1962 games which in turn gave the state championship to Graham. One of the Byrd losses was to Andrew Lewis.Graham lost to Andrew Lewis and Bluefield High of West Virginia. The West Virginia loss did not count in 1962 and the Andrew Lewis game was changed to a win. Graham ended up 9-0 vs. Virginia competition. In 1962 Bluefield High of WV was 11-0 and won the WV AAA championship. So in 1962 both Bluefield schools were state champions in Virginia and West Virginia.
