After 42 seasons, 708 wins (a Section V record), 32 Genesee Region championships, nine Section V championships, and two State championships, Notre Dame's Mike Rapone will be honored before Wednesday evening's basketball game at the high school.
Game time is 7 p.m.
Rapone is a 1971 graduate of Notre Dame and also served as the school's athletic director.
His coaching career began in 1978 as JV coach.
In 1981, he became varsity coach. The team was just two years removed from a 1-17 season yet Rapone helped guide the team to its first of 17-straight Genesee Region championships, a Section V title, and a win in the Far West Regional Championship.
The GR championship streak was broken in 1998 but Rapone's teams won 14 of the next 16 GR titles.
