Notice: Undefined variable: article_ad_placement3 in /usr/web/cs-washington.ogdennews.com/wp-content/themes/News_Core_2023_WashCluster/single.php on line 128
The winningest football coach in WPIAL history is retiring after nearly five decades of coaching high school football.
Coach Jim Render submitted his letter of resignation Jan. 3 and officially announced his retirement as head coach of the Upper St. Clair varsity football team. Render is the only WPIAL football coach to reach 400 victories – he compiled a 406-141-6 career record – and he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Western Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.
A more in-depth look at his career will appear in next week’s edition of The Almanac, or go online to www.thealmanac.net.
