CCS coaches with the most career wins

[Defense_Rules]

Does anyone happen to know the top 10 coaches in CSS history with the most wins? I'm assuming BCP Janda, Saratoga's Coach Pierce and Palma's Carnazzo and Costa, and VC's Machado would be on it somewhere. Interested in seeing where they stand. Coach Walsh will be on the list when it is all said and done (137).

San Mateo's Buz Williams, 201 wins. South City's Ray DeJong, 154 wins.

Several articles in the Saratoga archives about Benny Pierce but his record wasn't obvious there. This one was a good one.

Oh - found his record in the following linked article: 270-84-4

270. That is a lot of wins. Thanks for the link.

I believe Butch Cattolico of Los Gatos High is number 3, he retired right when Benny Pierce's record was in his reach. Janda has since leapfrogged both of them.

Found this blog, but it's 8 years old. Forgot about ol' Earl Hansen he should be top 10 as well.
