GUTHRIE — With last week’s win over Ada, Guthrie coach Rafe Watkins has won 100 games at the school.

“I said after the game that it just goes to show that we have tremendous athletes here at Guthrie,” Watkins said.

“It’s a milestone, and to have it at one school is pretty special.”

In his time leading the Bluejays, he has won two state championships and been to the state semifinals five times.

Guthrie has only missed the playoffs once in his tenure.

Chris Evans at the Guthrie Sports Page broke down Watkins’ 100 wins. For example, Guthrie under Watkins is 61-11 in district games and 16-7 in playoff games.

Watkins has never lost to 16 teams and has a losing record against just three (Tulsa Washington, 1-2; Douglass, 2-3; Lawton MacArthur (0-1).

Another interesting fact: Guthrie has won 100 games under Watkins, but won just 114 in the 23 years before he arrived.
