2023 Week 17A: Joyner 49th Member of 100 Club; Hauser on Cusp of 200

The Coach 100 Club welcomed a new member in 2023 and the 200 club could add another in 2024.

Mater Dei coach John Joyner, who announced he was stepping down at conclusion of the season, became the 49^th to win at least 100 games, finishing the season with an all-time record of 104-69, .601 and state Division II-A championship in 2022.

Chris Hauser ended his 15^th season at Mission Hills with a record of 198-86-2, .686, stands 11^th all-time, and could continue to travel with the elite.

BENNIE IN SIGHT

Among 200-game winners, Cathedral’s Sean Doyle could make the biggest jump in 2024.

Win eight games and Doyle (231-110-0, .677) could move past Bennie Edens (238) into fourth place.

Ron Hamamoto (236-188-4, .556), who coached Doyle at earlier-named University and was succeeded by Doyle at Uni in 1996, is also likely to move past Edens.

Others who gained in 2023:

Ramona’s Damon Baldwin is 32^nd with 128 victories, up from 34^th.  Nine wins in 2024 would leapfrog Baldwin over seven others into a tie at 137 with Steve Sutton.

Point Loma’s Joel Allen succeeded Baldwin at No. 35 with 122 victories before announcing his retirement at the end of the season.

El Capitan’s Ron Burner is 40^th with 111 wins after starting the season in a tie for 43^th with Morse’s Tracy McNair, whose four victories in ’22 moved McNair to 44^th.

100 AWAITING OTHERS

At least four coaches, Tony Corley of San Pasqual; Thadd MacNeal of Carlsbad; David Dunn of Lincoln, and Kellan Cobbs of Granite Hills are within six victories of the Century mark.

Corley has 97 wins, MacNeal 96, Dunn 94, and Cobbs 93.  La Costa Canyon’s Sean Sovacool is next with 89.
