James Leonard of Aquinas recently won his 50th game as a head coach. That puts him in a club that might be called 50 in 60. There have been only 32 coaches in GHSA history to win 50 games in their first 60 as head coaches. That's out of more than 600 coaches who have won 50 and hundreds more that did not. The club excludes Larry Campbell, Nick Hyder and Wright Bazemore, to name a few. Leonard also is among the youngest. He was 30 when he got win No. 50 on Oct. 20.
