Summertown High School Softball coach Bobby Wyrick marked a
milestone on March 15th that is rarely seen in High School sports.
Wyrick won his 600th game as a High School softball coach in Savannah,
as the Lady Eagles downed Haywood County 21 to 0 in the Hardin County
Tournament. Then, in the second game of the night, the Lady Eagles tacked
on win number 601, with a 10-0 victory over Scotts Hill.
Wyrick has coached the SHS softball team for 30 years – and is currently in
his 31st season. Wyrick has been the only head coach of the SHS
Softball program since its inception. Wyrick and Curtis Peters started
the SHS Softball program in the 1979-1980 school year, the second year that
the TSSAA recognized girls' softball as a sanctioned sport.
Ø During that time, he has amassed a record of 601-259, for a winning
percentage of 70%.
Ø During this time period, he has a District record of 259-45, for a
winning percentage of 85%
Ø The best single-season record was posted by the 2005 Lady Eagle
squad, which posted a 37-6 record.
Ø Over these 30 years, Coach Wyrick and the Lady Eagles/Eaglettes
have –
> Captured 23 regular-season District Championships
> Captured 21 District Tournament Chapionships
> Made 14 Sub-State Appearances
> Made 2 State Tournament Final Four appearances (1983 and
1984)
Congratulations to Bobby, and all of his current & former Lady
Eagle/Eaglettes players over the past 30 years that made this accomplishment
possible !!!
