Coach Harris is in his 24th year as a head basketball coach and this past Saturday night, Joe won his 400th game. He was presented with a plaque prior to last nights game against Brewster to commemorate this amazing accomplishment. The plaque was a picture of the scoreboard depicting his 400th win with some superimposed pictures of the team and him coaching (some great graphics work by Curry). For those of you who were not able to make last nights game, the following insert was in the program. The Goats beat Brewster in overtime – coach got his 401st win. If you see Joe, be sure to congratulate him.
