Episode #76 - Dave Cresap (Former Perham boys bball head coach and now M State head coach)

May 30, 2023 • Matt Bare • Episode 76

Our guest for this episode is former Perham High School boys basketball head coach and newly hired M State Community College head men's coach - Dave Cresap. Coach Cresap has coached the last 37 seasons of high school basketball, including the last 28 seasons in Perham. Dave got that program going in the right direction taking the helm in 1995 and finishes his high school career with a record of 666 – 298, good for a 69% career winning percentage and sits at #8 all time in MN boys history for number of wins. Dave led the Yellow Jackets to five state tournament appearances including a state championship in 2011. We dive into that 2011 season, the secret to all of the success he’s had at Perham and why now was time to step out of high school coaching and into college coaching.
