And I believe that coach Cash at Thomas Jefferson has 324 I believe. Well that's what I read anyhow

Cates had 236 of his wins at ER. Left for Lee County after coaching for one year following the construction of Providence Grove which caused reduction of student athlete numbers. Last year at ER 3-8 record. First year at Lee County 3-8. Did a lot of winning other years though.

Cates graduated from Graham a couple of years behind me...I graduated Reidsville in 1968........talk about feeling old.....lol....................

The football field at Clinton High will without a doubt be named after Bob Lewis one day I guarantee it......Bob Lewis Field at Dark Horse Stadium i can see it now

I look for Reidsville to do the same for Jimmy Teague.

 

[rambbq]

don't know about that FF....they've never named anything in Reidsville after a former coach...thinking of George Wingfield and Hap Perry (football) and Hoy Isaccs (basketball)...All 3 are in the NCHSAA Hall of Fame...and there's nary a thing named after them in the athletic department.....................

 

[Fantastic Four]

I know, they never retire numbers either. At least we do have the hall of fame in football to honor most of them.

Yes, Coach Jerry Cash spent most of his career in South Carolina (Boiling Springs, Janesville, Riverside and Chesnee HS) and then came to NC to Coach East Rutherford. Retired and then came back to turnaround the Thomas Jefferson program.

 

[rambbq]

ok..then that probably explains his omission on the list I saw....still congrats to him on a great and ongoing career in coaching...............
