Congrats to John and Ken ….....they both could coach at any level…..........although a coach may be blessed with good or even great players, it’s extremely difficult to put teams away at the regional and state final four level. The fact that these two won more than once at states tells me they were special…....only Brian Giorgis won more from section 1 or 9. But, then again, OLL under Giorgis was like a D1 or D2 program filled with big time players…..best wishes to two of the very best…........
