With the Beechwood Tigers' 41-0 win over Simon Kenton, head coach Noel Rash earned the 200th win of his career. He has a career record of 200-53.
Rash is already Beechwood's winningest head coach and will reach his 200th win with the Tigers when they earn their seventh win of the 2026 season. From 2006 to 2022, he accrued a 193-46 record and won eight state championships.
He went 4-7 at Conner last season, stepping in after David Trosper died suddenly in June 2025.
According to the KHSAA record book, Rash is the fifth Northern Kentucky coach to reach the 200 milestone, joining Bob Schneider (343 - Newport Central Catholic), Owen Hauck (258 - Highlands and Boone County), Dale Mueller (250 - Highlands) and Lynn Ray (234 - Covington Catholic).
After
initially retiring following Beechwood's 2022 state championship victory, Rash spent 2023 as a special consultant to his friend Steve Specht at Cincinnati St. Xavier. He was an assistant coach at Holmes in 2024, where he also served as the assistant principal for two years.
Rash returned to Beechwood in May after former coach Jay Volker unexpectedly stepped down due to conflicts with his teaching job at Kings High School. He told The Enquirer in August that he plans to coach Beechwood for a few seasons and help develop the Tigers' youth program.
