Price (Madisonville) 2 seasons 

Edge (Apollo) 5 seasons 

Yes Edge has been at Apollo since 2020, my bad, but Price I believe been at MNH since 2021 so 4 seasons.

Lot of new coaches on this list.  Who stands out as an up and coming coach or a program headed in the right direction?

I'm enjoying seeing this.  It's interesting.  Brandon Smith averaging 11 wins a year is impressive.  Mark Spader also with 10 a year in the same district.  Also some guys grinding out several wins a year at schools you don't think of a lot.  Nice post.  

Almost need to take the Covid year 2020 out,if your averaging wins per year.

Great thread @Westernside!

Correct. Price was hired at Madisonville for the 2021 season.

Petett was also at Monroe from 2004-2015 I believe, going 84-61. Makes him 106-93 in total.

Matthew Jones at KCD has been there a while and really done nice things with that program. Small school that was never really on anyone's radar football-wise and he has them competing seriously now and has for the past few years.

Tood Adler at Logan County is another one that stands out. Especially considering that when he took over, the Cougar were coming off three consecutive winless seasons. While last season wasn't the best, they have been a consistent 8-10 win team for most of his tenure.
