As the buzzer sounded Tuesday night at Granbury High School, a coaching legend became even more legendary.

Leta Andrews became the all-time winningest high school basketball coach. Not by a woman, not by a man, but overall. Andrews won her 1,334th basketball game, as Granbury defeated Midlothian High School, 64-43. Andrews surpassed another Texas legend, former Fort Worth Dunbar High School coach Robert Hughes, with the victory.

After picking up the win, Andrews was carried off the court by her players, hugged her husband David, family members and former players in attendance and fought back tears -- all while receiving a thunderous ovation from the capacity crowd on Monday. Andrews, 73, is in her 49th season as a coach.

"It has been a wonderful ride," Andrews said to her supporters following the win. "… I have the best job of anybody in the world."

It was only fitting that Andrews set the record on a home court that bears her name. Granbury had opportunities to get the record for Andrews over the weekend in tournament play, but they missed out on victories at the Cowtown Classic -- ironically played at Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center, a facility with a court that bears Hughes' name.

Andrews has been the face of Granbury - a small town of more than 7,500 located roughly 30 minutes southwest of Fort Worth - for quite some time now. She became the all-time winningest girls basketball coach on Dec. 10, 2005, when Granbury beat San Antonio's Taft High School. Andrews earned win No. 1,218 at the time. In her 49 seasons, Andrews is in her second stint as Granbury's coach (1976-80, 1992-present) and has previously coached at Tolar, Gustine, Comanche and Corpus Christi Calallen high schools. She won a UIL Texas Class 4A state championship in 1990 at Calallen.

Andrews has received multiple accolades in her career, including memberships with the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame and Texas Sports Hall of Fame. She also received the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Morgan Wootten Lifetime Achievement Award three years ago.

Andrews has three daughters, all who were former high school standouts who went on to play college ball. She has 117 more girls basketball coaching wins than her closest competition, Jim Smiddy of Tennessee.
