Congratulations to Shane Cordell, girls basketball coach of Little River High School. He won his 500th game last night, when Little River defeated Peabody-Burns, 54-29. Video highlights of the game and the celebration afterwards are available here.Cordell told CatchItKansas:
"It's kind of the milestone you think about," he said. "It means a lot to finally do it. It was never a goal I had. But I've been here quite a while, and when you just do your job, some things start to happen. When I reflect back on all the girls who played and all the people who helped the program for years - I hope they got some enjoyment out of it too."The Kansas Sports Hall of Fame credits Cordell's Little River teams with numerous state records. Among them:
* Most consecutive wins - 91 from 1994 to 1998.
* Most wins in a season - 28 in 1997.
* Most consecutive undefeated seasons - three from 1995 to 1997.
* Most consecutive state championships - four from 1995 to 1998.
* Widest average margin of victory for a season - 40.9 points a game in 1996.
Cordell's basketball coaching record is 500-183.
Shane is a class act who has blessed our community for a number of years.
I hope he's still coaching when my kids get to high school!

That's a major achievement! I've become a big supporter of girls sports--I coach softball (11-12) and my family attends many home games of our George Mason Mustangs. (Falls Church, VA) Our 11 yr old plays basketball and select team softball. I like their games almost as much as Ornette Coleman Atlantic albums circa early '60s.
