Farmington Hall of Honor Spotlight: Randy Osnes
Farmington Public Schools and Farmington Athletics are proud to announce longtime softball coach Randy Osnes as a member of the 2026 Farmington Hall of Honor Induction Class. Osnes will be formally recognized during the Hall of Honor Induction Banquet on Wednesday, September 23, at 6:00 p.m. at Cardinal Arena.
This year’s banquet will carry even more significance for Osnes, as Farmington will also honor the 2000 Farmington State Championship Softball Team — Coach Osnes’ first state championship team at Farmington. Members of that historic team will be recognized as part of the evening’s celebration.
Few coaches have left a mark on Arkansas high school softball quite like Osnes. Over a remarkable 28-year coaching career, including 25 seasons at Farmington High School, Osnes accumulated 664 career victories — the most wins of any past or present high school softball coach in Arkansas.
During his career, Osnes guided his teams to three State Championships, nine State Runner-up finishes, 10 Regional Championships and 21 Conference Championships. His teams reached the State Tournament 26 times and appeared in 14 Regional Championship finals.
His impact at Farmington was especially impressive. In 25 seasons leading the Lady Cardinals, Osnes compiled an extraordinary 592-158 record before adding another 72 victories during three seasons at Har-Ber High School.
Osnes’ legacy, however, extends far beyond wins and championships. Throughout his career, he coached 42 All-State players and 20 All-Star players, helping generations of student-athletes develop and succeed. His honors include being named the 2018 NFHS National Coach of the Year, 2011 Sectional Coach of the Year, a two-time AAA State Coach of the Year and a 14-time Conference Coach of the Year.
Osnes has also been selected for numerous All-Star coaching assignments, including serving as an AAA All-Star assistant as recently as 2026. He was also named the AHSFPCA Coach of the Year in 2024.
The championships and records tell an extraordinary story, but Coach Osnes’ Hall of Honor induction also recognizes the lasting influence he had on the athletes he coached and the softball program he helped build at Farmington. His sustained success and commitment to excellence have established a legacy that will remain part of Cardinal history for generations.
The opportunity to honor Coach Osnes and the 2000 State Championship Softball Team on the same night will make this year’s Hall of Honor banquet a special celebration of Farmington softball history.
Cardinal Nation is invited to join us September 23 as we celebrate Coach Randy Osnes, the 2000 State Championship Softball Team and the entire 2026 Farmington Hall of Honor Induction Class.
