Coach Just is the only Hanover Hawks coach to make the tourney this year. At the helm of the Hawks for 8 seasons Just took a dismal program and turned them into a region and state threat. 61-36 from 2005-2012 Just led the Hawks to 6 winning seasons and 7 playoff appearances. Just was at the helm for the Hawks first playoff appearance, win and then won 4 region titles in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Coach Burton on the other hand kinda had a rebuild at Highland Springs resurrecting a program whose best days were fading. Arriving in 1999, Burton went 72-26 over 9 seasons before leaving following the 2007 season. Burton had 7 winning seasons and 7 playoff appearances during his tenure and scored two big wins over rival Varina in 2005 and 2007. 2-7 in the playoffs, Burton and the Springers reached the region finals in 2001 and 2006.
