It's been quite an off-season for a couple of members of high school football's elite 400-Win Club.
Last month, G.A. Moore, fifth on the country's all-time wins list with 423 wins, resigned from Aubrey High School in Texas. Monday, George Curry, seventh on the all-time wins list with 413 returned to the game and the school he led to national prominence.
Curry is the new "old" coach at Berwick High School in northeastern Pennsylvania. Curry replaces Gary Campbell, who was hired to replace Curry after Pennsylvania's all-time winningest coach retired in 2005.
The job opened-up after Campbell resigned reportedly to take a new job in his home state of Massachusetts.
Amazingly last year, three coaches entered the elite 400-Win Club: Corky Rogers (The Bolles School, Florida), Al Fracassa (Brother Rice, Michigan) and Bob Paroli (Seventy-First, North Carolina).
This year it's possible that three more could join the club as you can see from the list below. Please note there are different sources that use different numbers for coaches, but we believe this is the correct list...or at least as best as we can tell.
