According to Bill Lane of the Kingsport Times-News, Snyder stared coaching at Boones Creek High School in 1960 or 43 years ago. He coached at Boones Creek until it was consolidated with Sulphur Springs and Fall Branch to form Daniel Boone High School. So in a way he has been at the same school the whole time. Snyder is second in the state in victories. In first place is the timeless Charlie Bayless at Happy Valley.

Jerry Peters at MUS has won something like 850.

 

Opperman, I contacted Bill Lane of the Kingsport Times-News concerning the coaching victories. It apperars that Snyder is the second winningest active boy's coach in the state. The following is the text of Bill's response to me:

 

CHHS72:

I believe you're right about Jerry Peters of MUS having over 800 wins. But it's my understanding that when the research was done a few years ago, it was determed he had coached both boys and girls teams. The record is combined.

We usually stipulate that Snyder is the state's second-winningest active boys coach, but we haven't listed it this way in a while.

Bill

 

All of us in Northeast Tennessee know that Snyder is not second all time because we have had four of the top six in state history. Buck Van Huss had 1,201 wins as a boys coach.

 

In any event 800 wins is a major accomplishment and should be honored. My hat is of to Coach Snyder.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      By 1983 · Posted

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
