I think school pride is a good thing and it is obvious that the folks in Russell are proud of their team and their coach. That's a good thing. But lets stop declaring Coach Frohling the best coach in 3-2-1a or Jesse Dinkel the best wrestler at 189 in 3-2-1a. Because neither have the credentials to back-up the honor.

It is true that Coach Frohling has coached some good teams and also true that Jesse Dinkel posted a couple of decent seasons - but how many state team championships has coach Frohling earned and how many state championships did Jesse Dinkel earn. Can you say ZERO?
