WINONA, Minn. — The Winona High School football coach, John Cassellius, who logged his 100th victory this fall, made his resignation official. It was expected. In July he was appointed principal 24 miles away at the Houston High School. Cassellus, age 48, had been the Winhawk football coach 21 seasons. In 2005 Cassellius inherited a team in the middle of a 37-game losing streak. He built the team into a state contender. His teams took four trips to U.S. Bank Stadium, including a state championship appearance in 2016. At Winona High he taught physical education.
