Weiler reaches 300 career wins

Veteran Owen-Withee High School boys basketball coach Russ Weiler
reached milestone earlier this season, when he earned his 300-th head
coaching win. Weiler reached that mark during the Christmas break,
when the Blackhawks beat Lakeland at the Stratford Holiday Tournament.
Weiler is an Owen-Withee graduate, who took over as boys basketball
coach in 2000. He now has 250 wins at Owen-Withee, including 21 last
season, and that is the first time an Owen-Withee boys basketball team
has won 20 games or more in a season. Weiler also won 52 games as head
coach at Granton between 1994 and 2000. He had back-to-back winning
seasons with the Bulldogs in 1997 and 1998, and that's the only time
Granton has been above .500 in boys basketball in consecutive seasons
since the Bulldogs had winning seasons for coach Bruce Rayhorn in 1981
and 1982. Weiler now has 302 wins in his head coaching career.
