Falknor gets 400th boys basketball win

The following report was filed by the Associated Press:

After his 400th career win, Ohio high school basketball coach Lyle Falknor said he’s been blessed.

He clinched the milestone win last week with Sandusky St. Mary’s 44-35 win over Port Clinton.

“It’s a great honor and I’m happy to get there, although it may have taken a lot more time than I hoped,” he said. “Winning 400 games means two things to me: I’ve been coaching a long time and I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of good athletes and players through the years.”

Nearing the end of his 30th boys season, Falknor’s record stands at 400-275 overall.

SMCC is his fourth coaching stop. He began at Tri-County North (16-28) for two seasons, followed by a stop at Greenon for three seasons. He went 56-18 at the school with a state-runner up in Class AA during the 1985-86 season.

Falknor then moved on to Bellevue where he finished with a 296-180 record in 21 seasons with seven Northern Ohio League titles (including five straight) and five regional appearances in Division II.

Falknor is 32-49 in his fourth season at SMCC. He played basketball at Wright State University and is in the Raiders athletic hall of fame.
