Earlier this week, Sports in Kansas released a list of the winningest active high school head football coaches in the state.

The top two on the list each have ties to the area, as longtime Hutch High School coach and current St. Thomas Aquinas coach, Randy Dreiling is No. 1 with 279 wins, followed by current Buhler High School coach Steve Warner at No. 2 with 277.

"Right now it doesn't mean anything to me," Warner said. "I'm more focused on the game on Friday night and getting another win for our program. I feel like when I retire, maybe I will look back and reflect on it, but right now we've got to win more football games here, down the road it will be an accomplishment, but right now I just want to win football games."

Warner guided the Crusaders to the class 4A state title in 2013, while Dreiling won six straight class 5A titles at Hutch from 2004-09, and then again in 2011.
