Other Notes
- Former Honaker coach Alex Zachwieja was a member of the VHSL Scholastic Bowl Advisory Committee. He took up the position in 2009, and finished his coaching career with over 400 VHSL regular season victories along with an eight-year undefeated streak in the Black Diamond District/Crooked Road Conference. Teams under his tutelage also won six straight Regional-level titles. Zachwieja retired from Honaker High School after the 2014 state championship season, bringing an end to his 16-year tenure as head coach (1998--2014).
After a year of minimal activity and with no remaining players from the 2014 state championship season, the team was turned over to one of Zachwieja's former players, Charlie Perkins (Honaker Class of 2010). Under his guidance, the team has returned to prominence once again, and the team of 6/7 rookies won the 2016 Crooked Road Conference Tournament as well as the Region 1A West Tournament en route to a second VHSL State Championship in three years.
