Edgar (OnFocus) – Difference makers in sports are all around us. Getting to know coaches, athletic directors, and key figures in amateur sports helps us learn about the individuals shaping athletics and making a difference in schools. Area athletes have been under the microscope with the world-famous interview ‘Pancakes or Waffles?’ and now it’s time to add a different lens to sports in central Wisconsin.
With our OnFocus ‘Baked or Fried?’ interview, we take a look at difference makers in central Wisconsin.
We caught up with legendary Edgar Football Coach Jerry Sinz, who has led the Wildcats to seven state titles, to take a deeper look at Sinz, beyond the football field.
Sinz is the first difference maker featured with our in-depth interview, Baked or Fried?, as we ask that world-famous question, and more.
