Coach Feldhaus began his career at Clinton County before moving on to Green County and then on to the Madison Central Indians in Richmond. Allen Jr., is one of the state’s most successful high school coaches, winning the 2013 state championship and leading the Indians to four 11th Region titles. He was honored as the Courier-Journal Coach of the Year in 2012 and 2013. Feldhaus Jr. earned his 700th career win with an 88-81 victory over Christian County in 2023, now standing at over 750 wins late this season.
