Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Brother coaching brother

I have been fortunate to have two sons who have won State Championships and I have been lucky enough to coach one to a title in high school. My son Dylan this year coached his little brother Jace to a State title. I was curious how often this has happened in the past either as a head coach or an assistant.

Surprisingly enough - Jace's match at 135 (321A) against Kale Newell would have had the same result no matter who won. Kale's brother was coaching him in the corner as well as an assistant.

Not sure in how many times it has happened in Kansas, but I am guessing it's fairly common.

Fathers coaching sons are fairly common, but I do not remember many brothers that have coached their brother. Esp. to a state title.

Cael Sanderson is coaching Cyler Sanderson at Penn State and he just became Cael's first Big 10 Champion.

I coached my brother in football and we won state. What a wild ride! would have loved to do it in wrestling

Anyone know if this has happened in KS? This is my Dad's thread, but I have to admit I'm a little curious.

Yes I believe Tom Taplin and Brant Taplin both Coached Ross Taplin of Abilene.

richard frakes was an assistant at douglass when his half brother steven won it in '98
