Biography

A teacher in Martinsville High’s business department since 1976, Most has guided the girls’ golf team to nine state titles -the past six in succession and three more from 1991-93. Since taking over the girls’ golf program in 1985, Most’s teams have a dual-meet record of 161-16, and have lost just three of 120 matches since 1990, the year Martinsville began a run of 11 straight years in the top two in the state.

In the fall of 2000, Martinsville rallied from six strokes down after the first day to win its sixth straight title by 14. More than a dozen of Most’s players have gone on to earn Division I scholarships at schools such as Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, Wake Forest, and Western Kentucky.

The year after being honored, Most’s Girls placed second in the State in the fall of 2001. In addition, Martinsville tacked on another two State Championships in 2007 and 2008. Most recently, her team finished second in 2014.

Most resigned in the spring of 2017, leaving Martinsville and the state of Indiana as one of their most elite coaches.
