Coach McLean Remembered
Before the start of the game, a moment of silence for former Madison Coach George McLean, who died recently. McLean coached the Warhawks from 1973-1998 and holds the school record for wins at 206. During his tenure, he was named Coach of the Year five times, while winning four district championships and appearing in six regional tournaments. He was inducted into the James Madison High School Hall of Fame in 2003. McLean played for Dean Smith at the University of North Carolina in Smith’s inaugural season.
