Legendary former Hutchinson High School coaches Tina Johnson (volleyball) and Randy Dreiling (football) have reached milestones.

Dreiling notched career victory No. 300 as the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints defeated Blue Valley 27-24 on Friday.
In her first season leading the Panthers, Johnson now holds a 700-312 career record after Great Bend went 4-0 at its home invitational. The Panthers are 23-3 and ranked No. 7 in Class 5A.

Johnson previously coached the Hoisington High School for 24 years and Hutchinson High School for 10 years.
During her time at Hoisington and Hutchinson, she guided five teams to the state volleyball tournament.
Johnson entered this season as the 26th-winningest coach in Kansas history and was inducted into the Kansas Volleyball Association Hall of Fame in 2022 as both a coach and an official.
Dreiling earned his 300th football victory during his 37th season. He earned his first career victory in 1989 as the head coach at Kingman High School.
Dreiling has won 10 state championships in Kansas (in Classes 4A, 5A and 6A). He won seven state titles in 16 years at Hutchinson, including six in a row from 2004-2009, and three at Aquinas in 12 years.
