E88: When underdogs take the state title- Ft. Larry Thompson, Wheeler (Ga.) head basketball coach

The Luke Winstel Show

On the latest edition of the show, three-time Georgia high school basketball state champion head coach Larry Thompson tells the story of his 2019-20 Wheeler High School team's title run. Without a major college recruit on the roster, the squad knocked off a top-25 nationally ranked Grayson team to take the title in Georgia's highest classification (AAAAAAA). After the season, Thompson was named a coach of the year finalist by USA Today. The 2019-20 Wheeler team was a finalist for the USA Today boys' team of the year award.
