Nowak attained his 400 career victory

Nowak13On Oct. 12, Coach Vince Nowak secured himself in Howell North history books by attaining his 400 career victory against Timberland High.

 

“Well, he was pretty relaxed because he is not a real emotional guy.  When we gave him the plaque and award (after the game) he seemed very stunned,” said senior varsity goalie, Austin Haywood.


Nowak has been the only varsity soccer coach at north. As well as being a coach he is a mentor to all of the athletes in his program.


“My favorite memory of Nowak is achieving his 400 win in his career because it is such an astonishing accomplishment.  It is something that shows how successful and how good of a coach he’s been over many years.  To put it in perspective, some of the guys did the math and it comes to an average of 17 wins a year which is remarkable that someone can average that many wins over that period of time. Many soccer programs in this area have never won 17 games in a season.  It is truly remarkable.  It’s been an honor to play with this wonderful coach and mentor for the past three years,” said senior center midfielder, Ryan Firle.


Both Firle and Haywood have played soccer at North for four years and have been gracious to play under such an amazing coach and person.
