Campbell County coach Aric Russell goes for 400th boys win

[Basketball Jones]

It could be a big historical night for local basketball in two regions!

Campbell County 25th-year coach Aric Russell recorded boys' basketball career win No. 399 Wednesday night against Walton-Verona.

He can reach 400 today at Scott in a 37th district-deciding game beginning at 5:30 pm in the 10th Region.

Russell's boys record is now 399-251 in 13 seasons at Campbell County (275 wins) and nine at Newport (124 wins).

He also coached girls basketball at Newport (51 wins in three seasons).

He has 450 career basketball wins in different regions!

His chase for 400 boys wins has been overshadowed by Dave Faust's pursuit of the Ninth Region all-time victory record, which can also happen tonight.

Congrats!  He does an excellent job

A double dose of local basketball history tonight.

Coach Russell reached the 400-win milestone for boys basketball with a 58-51 Campbell County district seeding game victory against Scott. The Camels clinch first place in the 37th District.

Russell now has 451 career wins in both boys and girls basketball.

That's just 10 wins fewer than St. Henry's Dave Faust but because they came in two different regions in both boys and girls basketball and do not set a record other than reaching an important milestone, it hasn't gotten enough attention. Congratulations coach Russell.
