ONeillt Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) This week Coach Mike Steele of Westfield Middle School announced his resignation as head coach for the Shamrock middle school wrestling team. Coach Steele has been the head wrestling coach at Westfield Middle school since 1992. During those 26 years he saw Westfield grow from a 2A school of less than 600 students to a 6A school of over 2200 students. He has impacted hundreds if not a thousand or more young men in the Westfield community. His teams were always very successful and did things the right way. Thank you Coach Steele for 26 years of service, coaching, and mentoring, young men and women in the Westfield community. The impact you had in the wrestling program and the school is remarkable.

UncleJimmy Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Salute and congrats! If it wasn't for 3 caring/involved/impactful middle school teachers, @crosstownrivalsknows who they are and is one, my son would not have found this sport and wouldn't be where he is. Middle school is a vital time in the life of a kid and for the growth of the sport. throw45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Brigade Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Kudos to Coach Steele. He helped transform Westfield from a small school with partial lineups, about on the level of tiny Sheridan, to a team participating in big school team state and cranking out state placers left and right. Quite a journey, very impressive. The Steele boys were studs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2CJ41 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 26 years of coaching middle school kids should earn him some kind of medal of honor! It takes a special person to do it that long. Websterk149 and gtodrivr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
