Newcastle Fast-Pitch Softball coach Mike Crossley just surpassed Barnsdall coach Joe Gilbert for the most wins coaching at one school.
The Racers tied the record and then surpassed it during games over the weekend at the Dale Festival, held at Fire-Lake Ball Fields near Shawnee.
Coach Crossley was honored Tuesday night at the Newcastle-McLoud game. Racer Fastpitch alumni, former coaches, parents, teachers, alumni, and community members were in attendance. Vickie Crossley said anytime the coach would talk about going for the record, he always said how important it was to get it in Newcastle for the girls and coaches and teams from the past.
Coach Gilbert is a National Hall of Fame Coach from the community of Barnsdall.
