THE 100-PLUS CLUB (Up to Date)

It’s time to revisit our top winning coaches list, drawn up by Phil Dusenbury. No coaches broke the 100 varsity win barrier last season.  Rondout’s Jim Malak is on the verge with 99, but Rondout has no varsity program this season. Here's the updated Honor Roll according to our count. An asterisk (*) indicates that a coach is still active. Please note that these totals represent VARSITY wins only.

#2. Joe Viglione (Port Jervis/Warwick) - 194 (1-Maryland, 155-PJ; 38-War)

#3. Bob Corvino (Port Jervis) - 161

#4. Ron Bauer (J-Y/Del-Val/Sullivan West) - 144*

#5. Dick Wolslayer (Middletown) - 142

#6. Carl Relyea (Highland) - 122*

#7. Mickey Million (Rondout Valley) - 110 

#8. Fred Ahart (Roscoe /LMR) - 105*

#9. Lem Atkins (Highland) - 103

#10. Al Chase (Port Jervis) - 100

Here are some details:

After being a head coach at Section Three's Pulaski High for five years (1977-81), Pat D'Aliso came to Monroe-Woodbury where he assisted John Moson. In 1988 he became the Crusader head coach, and the rest is history. He has won two OCL (and American Conference) titles plus 10 Section Nine crowns. In 2004 his squad whipped Saratoga to become the first Section Nine Class AA team to win a state tournament game. That feat was quickly trumped when the Crusaders won the Class AA State Championship in 2005 and followed with three subsequent trips to the state title games.  In 2009 D'Aliso's Crusaders won their fifth straight SNF Class AA crown.

Joe Viglione coached for 32 seasons (1957-83 at PJ and 1987-91 at Warwick) after a year in LaPlata, Md. At Port he won three DUSO titles and eight OCL championships. At Warwick he won the final OCL title (which was also played for the Class A crown) plus a Class B title. His 13 crowns make him top dog in total championships.

Following Viglione at Port Jervis, the newly retired Bob Corvino (1984 - 2007) won 12 titles, including a state regional crown in 1997.  In the decade of the ‘90’s Port win four consecutive Section Nine titles (1995-8). In 1997 the Raiders played in a state Class A semi-final after defeating Section One‘s Ossining for the state’s Southeast Regional title. Corvino’s final sectional championship came in 2001.

Middletown's Dick Wolslayer (1967-78, 83-95) could have won another 20+ games had he coached from 1979-82. During those four years, he served as an assistant, coaching freshman and jayvee ball after his second "retirement." He stays close to the game and could probably still go out and be a head coach today! This underrated and humble mentor won 63% of his games against the toughest of competition. He won a championship in his first season - a DUSO crown. Then in 1993 and '94 he and his Middies won back-to-back sectional titles.

Ron Bauer has 30 years of head coaching under his belt (1976-79, 1984 to present). He's served at both Jeff-Youngsville (one WSL title) and Delaware Valley where he earned seven Section 9D trophies before being the natural choice to coach at newly centralized Sullivan West. As the head Bulldog, he's won three more sectional crowns. With 11 Section Nine championships, he's the leader in that department!

Rondout's Mickey Million coached from 1969-91. In his 23 seasons the hometown boy came back to his alma mater and had to follow in the footsteps of Chick Meehan, the "Father of Rondout Valley Football." In doing so, he won two UCAL and two MHAL titles.

Highland’s Carl Relyea took over the varsity reins in 1986. His Huskies were a Class C powerhouse in the 90‘s, winning six sectional crowns from 1991 to 1998. The 1991 title had provided Highland its first football trophy in two decades. During that span of dominance, the Huskies also won a pair of state regional titles. He added a Class B sectional crown in 2008.

An earlier Highland coach also notched over 100 wins. He's Lem Atkins who won 103 games in 16 seasons (1962-1977). In those days the Huskies played in the UCAL where Atkins' teams won titles in 1965, '66, '70 and '71. Coach Atkins died at age 47 from a massive coronary on a Saturday morning with Highland scheduled to play Wallkill.

Fred Ahart will enter his 32nd season of coaching varsity football next fall. Of his wins, 99 came at Roscoe from 1979-2004. At the helm for the Blue Devils he won both the Western Sullivan League and the first two Section Nine Class D titles in 1989 and 1990. In 1990 his Devils also won a regional title. In 2005 Roscoe football merged with Livingston Manor. Along with co-coach Kevin Clifford, Ahart won two games in each of the 2005, 2008 and 2009 seasons.

The legendary Donovan "Al" Chase, known as "The Old Fox," coached at Port Jervis from 1925-42 and from 1945-49. The two missing years were spent serving in the armed forces at the tail end of WW II. In his 23 seasons at the helm, his Red and Black squad, playing against much larger schools, won six DUSO titles. Chase's most famous player was Eddie Dunn who went on to star (and even coach) at Miami where his name is still in the record books alongside the likes of Edgerrin James. Dunn's son was a part of the famous Pittsburgh Steeler "Steel Curtain" of the 70's.
