- Mark Pachuca/Orange Leader WO-S head coach Cornel Thompson (right) and offensive line coach Justin Trahan stare at the field during the 2017 playoff run. Thompson has compiled an amazing 100-17 mark at WO-S with four state title appearances, two state crowns and eight straight trips to the regional finals.
It’s that time of year when everyone is starting to turn their focus on the upcoming high school football season.
Former Orange County football players will always remember their head coach and what they meant to them.
So here is a flashback from some glory days that local fans and former players can remember.
West Orange-Stark, which has competed in eight state title games, winning four of them, is flying in rare air.
The Mustang program is now the winningest team by percentage in the state all-time now after its 500th game in program history last year.
Here is a list of all of the head football coaching records in the Orange County area from 1977-2019.
