It has taken a few hours, but I have researched for AllSportsTucson.com the archives and records from various outlets and determined the career coaching records of all the high school football coaches in Southern Arizona.
Today’s information includes coaches and teams from the 6A Metro, 5A Southern and 5A Sonoran. Tomorrow, the records of the 4A Kino and Gila will be presented, followed by the 3A South on Wednesday, and 2A San Pedro and 1A South on Thursday.
