Coaches of the Decade, by class, thoughts

[MOsportsStaff]

Here's a start

Class 5, Webster, Jay Blossom, two state titles, 10 twenty win seasons?

Who lead Scott County Central in the decade?

Eminence won two Class 1 titles.

Tony Irons has to get a mention...thoughts?

Stanberry's Nick Groomer

Three Final Four appearances ('13, '14, '16)
Two State Championship game appearances ('13, '16)
2013 2nd Place, 2014 3rd Place
2016 State Champions, undefeated 31-0
6 straight 20-win seasons (no other coach in Stanberry history ever had more than 2 before him)

The 2013 team entered the postseason unranked at 17-7 and was the 3rd seed in the District Tournament. Finished the year as State Runners-up and lost by a basket in the title game.
I believe the wins over Ridgeway, Mercer, Wellington-Napoleon and Meadville on the road to the final were all over ranked teams. That team is still one of the most unlikely runs I've ever seen, though I'm biased.

Went 85-5 over the next three years. In 2016, the Bulldogs were ranked #1 all year long and went undefeated. 25 of 31 wins were by double digits. Looks like according to MSHSAA's website there were only 5 boys teams in all classes that went undefeated this decade.
