Elias "Coach" Korcoulis

Elias Korcoulis, known to his friends as Lou and to thousands others as Coach (1940 - March 4, 2006) was the cross-country and track coach for Hollis/Brookline High School in Hollis, New Hampshire from 1962 until his death. Coach was an alumnus of Manchester High School Central, having lived in Manchester all his life. Coach would then go on to Phillips Exeter Academy and Keene State College. He began working at Hollis/Brookline in 1962 and started the cross-country, winter track, and spring track programs. During his career, Coach led the Hollis/Brookline Cavaliers to twenty-six state championships.

Coach was a fan of the Cleveland Browns and the New York Yankees, much to the chagrin of his students and runners, being predominantly Boston fans. Coach was also fanatical about sports trivia and often demonstrated his talent for fact recall and a zest for conversation.
