#500 for Coach Hudgins (2023)

The Western Albemarle varsity baseball team won its 500th game with Coach Hudgins at the helm. The win came on March 31, 2023 with an 8-2 win over Goochland at Warrior Field.  Having 500 wins is an incredible feat in Virginia High School baseball.This is the 3rd most among active baseball coaches in Virginia and 6th most among all Virginia baseball coaches. Coach’s 500 wins came in his 39th season (not counting 2000 which was lost to Covid). His teams have lost only 300 games putting his win% at 63% which is pretty phenomenal. What many might find fascinating is that over his coaching career at Western there have been nearly 350 young men who have played varsity baseball.  He has also recruited and worked with 40 assistant coaches during that time.  These are remarkable achievements that represent outstanding contributions to the community.
