One of the greatest high school coaches in NELA history, Mackie Freeze, passed away today at age 96. Freeze led Richwood to LIALO state championships from 1962-4 & won over 83% of the games he coached over a 13 year span. Freeze was inducted in the La Sports HoF in 2021.

Fitzhugh moves legends Bill Ruple, Mickey McCarty, Vic Dalrymple and Chick Childress, who all have 4, as the second most coaching titles in NELA prep history.
Don Shows leads with 8
Great job Coach Fitzhugh!
