Wicomico HS Coach Butch Waller is the winningest coach in the state of Maryland, amassing over 900+ wins in his coaching career, which spans over 50 years!
He started what has morphed into the Governors Challenge as we know it today.
Butch Waller, head coach at Wicomico High School, founded the holiday classic when he gathered together Wicomico, Crisfield, DeMatha [coached by Morgan Wooten] and St. John’s [coached by Joe Gallagher] to play a doubleheader at the Wicomico Civic Center in 1981. The event has taken place in one form or another ever since.
