Toby Goodwin never would have dreamt he would become a six-man football coach.

In fact, when Goodwin made his debut leading Ira’s football program in 1997 fresh out of college, it was only the second time he’d ever witnessed a six-man football game in person.

Goodwin never left Ira, amassing 237 victories in those 28 seasons. He also reached the pinnacle last baseball season when the Bulldogs captured the 1A state championship.

And now Goodwin has only one semester to add more coaching memories as he announced his retirement this week.
