PHS Boy's Tennis Dynasty
The Phoenixville Area High School boys' tennis dynasty goes back 44 years to the arrival of head coach Leo Scoda, who still remains leader of the Phantoms as of now. Scoda, who is now mayor of the borough of Phoenixville, guided Phoenixville to titles in the old Ches-Mont League despite strong opposition from much larger enrollment schools like Downingtown and West Chester.
Since the inception of the Pioneer Athletic Conference (PAC-10) in 1986-87, the Phantoms have a perfect 186-0 record in league matches after 21 seasons on the courts.
Scoda is originally from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. He graduated from Penn State University and taught biology at Phoenixville Area High School until his retirement several years ago.
He also coached the girls tennis team at Phoenixville for a number of years and never had a losing record with them either.

In my opinion the best coach in 30 years
I guess when you posted it the first time and did not get a response, you had to recycle the article.
