He built the program from scratch, including what I believe is the best team in Northern Nevada prep football history, the 2008 McQueen Lancers, followed by the 1992, 20 McQueen teams. Dalton won 79.4 percent of his games, including 11 regional titles and six state championships (1990, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2008), five of which were perfect seasons.
1, but I tend to favor Dalton, who won 308 games (credited with 228 in Nevada since his 56 victories at North Tahoe from 1974-81 came prior to North Tahoe being an NIAA school). Ken Dalton: You can't go wrong with Sellers or Dalton at No. He's in the National High School Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame.ġ. He won two state titles at Bishop Manogue and compiled 250 career wins, the most in Nevada history. Joe Sellers: Sellers won nine state titles (one shy of the state record), including seven in the large class at Wooster, where he went 206-34, including a 36-game win streak from 1985-87. He's won nine Regional titles during his time at Reed and Manogue.Ģ. Howren's 173 career wins rank fourth in state history behind Joe Sellers, Ken Dalton and the South's Ken Higbee. Ernie Howren: The biggest thing missing on Howren's record is a state championship, although the other coaches on this list didn't have to deal with Bishop Gorman at its peak. He was a legend before most of us were born but shaped local sports in the first half of the 20th century.ģ. He also led Reno to six state basketball titles and three in track and field. Herb Foster: The field at Reno High is named after Foster, who led the Huskies to 119 victories and nine state titles, including five in a row, from 1923-1948. He won nine Class 3A state titles, including four in a row from 2009-12.Ĥ. Coaching the Wolverines from 1995-2012, Shaffer won 170 games (fifth most in state history), including 41 in a row from 2009-12 before retiring. Bob Shaffer: Shaffer built a powerhouse at Truckee High, which technically is in California but plays in the NIAA given its proximity to the border. 21 is retired), a coach (he went 40-48-3 in 10 seasons) and athletic director (he hired Chris Ault as Nevada's head football coach), but he also was Reno High's football coach for 10 seasons (1949-58) and won six state titles, including four in a row from 1949-52.ĥ. Dick Trachok: Trachok is known mostly for his time at Nevada, where he was a standout player (his No. A former McQueen High star, he coached the Huskies for 17 years and won a 2003 state title, marking the only non-McQueen state crown by a North team since 1996.Ħ. Dan Avansino: Avansino was the long-time Reno High coach before controversially being fired after the 2018 season following his comments about Bishop Manogue during halftime of a playoff game. From 1993-2009, Stallworth ran one of the North's most impressive programs, which included a 4A state title game berth in 2005. Rollins Stallworth: The former Nevada player did amazing things at Hug High, a school that typically struggles with numbers (and with wins, which we've seen since his retirement after the 2009 season). Rippee, whose 139 wins rank tied for sixth among Northern coaches, was inducted into the NIAA Hall of Fame in 2014.Ĩ. Rippee coached Douglas from 1985-2012 and posted a 139-125 record (100-70 in his last 16 seasons). Mike Rippee: Rippee's Douglas Tigers didn't have a lot of postseason success - no Regional titles - but his teams were a formidable foe. I'm going to name a bunch of coaches here so nobody gets mad, including Duke Drakulich, Edwin "Tip" Whitehead, Lou Micheo, Will Sandy, Gene Scattini, Gary Lundergreen, Jeff Knutson, Dave Hart, Dave McLean and Shawn Dupris, who will be in the top 10 before he's done at Damonte Ranch.ĩ.
This list only weighs the coach's accomplishments at the high school level, so you won't see Chris Ault, who coached Bishop Manogue and Reno, on the list.ġ0. Where does coach Ken Dalton rank on the all-time list of local high school football coaches? Let's rank the top 10. As you mentioned, you didn't ask a real question, so I will for you.
