  "account": "On Thursday, September 24, 2026, Smithson Valley head coach Larry Hill's Rangers secured a significant victory against Cedar Creek, winning 84-7 at Smithson Valley Ranger Stadium. This game marked Hill's 344th win in his 36-season coaching career, putting him ahead of Jim Streety, a former Madison and New Braunfels coach with 343 wins in 40 seasons. The milestone carries special significance as Hill and Streety are close friends and share a similar coaching philosophy. Streety, who was out of town at the time, expressed his desire to be the first one on the field to shake Hill's hand. The Rangers' coach emphasized the importance of humility and selflessness in coaching, and he attributes his success to the dedicated work of assistants, players, and community support. Streety, now in retirement, acknowledged that it was a matter of time before Hill would surpass his win total.",
