Even after winning his 300th game as head coach of the Algoma girls' basketball team, Mark Zastrow turned the attention to his players.

 

Zastrow and Kewaunee's Lynn Geier serve as the dean of the coaching ranks for girls' basketball coaches in Door and Kewaunee counties, with all of the other schools changing their head coaches within the last five years. Zastrow has over a quarter-century in his role, leading the Wolves to a 13-10 mark overall and 10-5 in the Packerland Conference. When asked about whether posting over 300 wins as head coach was an accomplishment or just a number to him, Zastrow said it is an accomplishment for the players that he has had the pleasure to be involved with. 

Speaking before their win against Gibraltar on Monday, Zastrow said they were approaching their final week of the regular season like they were competing for a conference championship despite being on the outside looking in at Kewaunee, Sevastopol, and Oconto.

Zastrow and Geier will coach against each other in the Packerland Conference finale as Algoma hosts Kewaunee on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
