NCHSAA All Time Top 100 Coaches

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association as part of the celebration of the 100th Anniversary  of the association has announced the all time top 100 coaches regardless of what sport they were in, in relationship with the NCHSAA.  Only one from Nash County made the list an a couple from Edgecombe County.

Sandra Langley:  SouthWest Edgecombe- Has won more than 600 basketball games as the girls basketball coach  at SouthWest Edgecombe.  She   has served as athletic director at SWE since 1991.  Langley a graduate of SWE is a member of the NCHSAA Hall Of Fame

Rosalie Bardin:  Southern Nash-  Held several coaching positions at Southern Nash  but 24 were as softball coach.  Served at principal of S Nash several years before retirement.  She is a member of the NCHSAA Hall Of Fame

Ron Vincent:  Rose-  All time winningest coach in North Carolina high school baseball.  Won six state titles.  Member of NCHSAA Hall of  Fame.  Had the pleasure of doing I think it was for local TV when Vincent beat Rocky Mount in Rocky Mount for #600.

Harvey Reid:  Elm City/Fike-  The all time winningest high school coach in North Carolina Basketball history winning 816 games.  Member of NC Sports Hall Of Fame and NCHSAA Hall Of Fame.

Gilbert Ferrell:  Fike-  Won the 1968 state 4-A baseball title for Fike.  served as baseball coach for 20 years and athletic director for 13.  Finished off his career as Wilson County Schools AD.  Member of NCHSAA Hall Of Fame.

Jim Fulghum- Green Central-  Makes this list because before he went to Green Central won a  basketball title at North Edgecombe moved to Green Central and won five baseball titles.

Any time there is any list  there are always people left out.  I think you will see that just about all on the list of 100 were deep into NCHSAA activities.  When I say that I am talking they were chairman of the NCHSAA rules committee and something more than just a coach that won many games.  These people were active in the statewide process of the NCHSAA.  If you go to NCHSAA.org you can see the complete list of those from all over North Carolina.

Now that the Little League season is over  the City of Rocky Mount's all Star teams are preparing for for the State playoff.  The district Tournament will be held in Rocky Mount July 9th through the 13th.  This weekend there is a tournament in Smithfield and there is always one every year somewhere in the area that helps prepare the teams for the district.

 This one is a single elimination tournament and both the Midgets (9-10 ) and senior (11-12) teams are playing.  Both groups have an American and a National League team. Through Sunday rain has force the tournament into Monday games and in the Senior League both the American league and National League are undefeated and will play each other for the Senior title.  The American (9-10) year old are still alive and barring more rain will play for this prelim championship Monday.
