Hillcrest Academy head basketball coach Dwight Gingerich continues to climb the all-time head coaching wins list in Iowa high school history.
Gingerich, who just completed his 38th year with the program, has compiled 696 career wins, sixth in the history of Iowa high school boys basketball. That total is most in state history for a coach at a single school. He passed former Beckman Catholic and Marquette Catholic coach Jim Squiers and his 686 wins during the most recent season. Gingerich has a 696-209 overall record at Hillcrest, leaving him behind only active coaches Dan Beck at Easton Valley, Mitch Osborn at Harlan, and Fred Parsons at Van Buren. He also trails retired coaches Al Marshall of Cascade and former WACO head coach Bob Hilmer who is the winningest coach in state history with 917 victories.
