Charlotte Catholic's Oddo Closes-in on 300-Win Club

North Carolina High School Football Huddle


Like 3,000 hits in baseball, the 300-win mark in high school football makes you a legend, no matter what state you're in.

As Charlotte Catholic enters the 2009 season, Jim Oddo, who is entering his 36th year of coaching the Cougars, needs two wins to reach that very special number. The Charlotte Observer has a very good story on the man, who says at 73 he's a little more "mellower now".
