BARRY WOHLER BIO

I grew up in a small town Bird Island, MN, where I played football, basketball, baseball and track. I was very fortunate to be on back to back state championship teams in football and basketball my junior and senior years. My Dad was my high school basketball coach, so it was in my blood to want to be a coach as well one day.

I was the head Football Coach for 9 years in Belle Plaine where we won 6 conference titles, with one state appearance. I was the assistant basketball coach there for 9 years as well.

Following Belle Plaine I was the head Football and Basketball coach at Marshall high school for 2 years, and continued as head basketball for 3 more years where we made it to 3 section title games with one state appearance.

Following Marshall,, I was the head Men’s Basketball coach at Hamline University where in my second year we made the MIAC playoffs for the first time in 12 years and won our first playoff game in 21 years.

I realized my heart was still coaching at the high school level and have been at Orono High School the past 12 years as  the head Boy’s Basketball coach where we have made 4 state tournament appearances, winning the AAA state title in 2011 and finishing 4th in 2014. I am also an assistant football and baseball coach at Orono as well. I have also been a section rep for boys basketball.

I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to run for VP of the MSHSCA and would be honored to serve if elected.
