For this episode we’re trying something we’ve never done before and that’s two guests in separate interviews put into one episode. And these guests are legends in Minnesota girls high school basketball.
First we have Alexandria head coach – Wendy Kohler. Wendy is in her 39th season leading the Cardinals and has been quite the fixture on the sideline. She recently coached in her 1,000th game and is nearing win number 700 for her career. She sits as the winningest female coach in Minnesota basketball history and is number 3 overall for all girls basketball coaches. She has led Alexandria to the state tournament 12 times capturing the state title in 1997. Her team is red hot again this season and is currently ranked #3 in class AAA.
For part two of this episode we are joined by the winningest head basketball coach in MN state history girls OR boys and that is Mike Dreier from New London-Spicer. Mike’s team success and numbers speak for themselves over his 45 seasons as head coach. He currently has 1,062 wins and boasts an amazing 84% career winning percentage. He also ranks number 13 nationally for most wins in the history of girls high school basketball. Mike has led the Wildcats to the state tournament a record 20 times and has two state championships winning it all in 1997 and 2002. This year’s squad is again ranked in the top 5 in class AA and is looking for another trip back to state.
