It's actually the Westland High School head wrestling coach but you are not far off. I think the two schools are within 15 miles of each other.
Along with the coaching position I also applied for, was offered, and accepted a 7th grade teaching position at Pleasant View Middle School. (It's a feeder School into Westland HS.)
I am excited about HS opportunity for teach and again coach. As it pertains to wrestling, I believe Westland has key pieces in place in order to be successful; a youth program with numbers, middle schools with good kids, and a wrestling room in the HS that can hold at least 50 kids. I'd like to test the room's breaking point. Hopefully it is 75-80 kids!!
Additionally, the school has solid tradition and capable alumni. My hope is to tap into those resources in order to revive the WHS wrestling program.
Stay tuned. We'll see what I and my team can do.

Awesome! I'm very happy for you although the ice business is losing a stud.
Best of luck moving forward.

Congratulations Mark. When I first moved to Columbus, Westland was a strong program with multiple state qualifiers year in and year out, and placers a pretty regular occurrence...a couple state champs along the way. Since Coach Branham left, Westland has been waiting for the right person to take over. I have no doubt that you'll be successful over there. FYI, I live about five minutes away down Hilliard Rome Road, if you ever need a guess clinician???

Great opportunity, Mark.
I know you will work your tail off for the kids, and be a great enthusiastic leader for the school and wrestling team!

I've been out of the ice business for a while. Did a short stint with RUDIS Athletic Apparel before jumping back into coaching and teaching.

Thanks, Mark. I appreciate it.
About the only issue I'm dealing with right now is the wait. For, "the waiting is the hardest part". - TP
