There is a head coach opening at Bishop Carroll High School. I am taking a principal's job at Resurrection grade school, a K-8 grade school in NE Wichita.

My assistant, Coach Zapata, is not interested in being head coach so the position is wide open. If you are interested contact AD Larry Dostert at (316) 722-2390 or dostertlarry@bcchs.org as soon as possible. BC has Social Studies, English, Spanish and counseling openenings.

It is a great job. We will have the number 1 ranked team in 5A with 3 returning state champions, 1 returning state finalist and a returning 3rd place finisher who was a state champion the year before. We have not lost a dual since January of 2001, a streak of 85 straight victories and have been City League Champions for the last five years. We have also been state champions 2 of the last 3 years. We have finished in the top 3 in state 7 of the last 10 years. This will only continue with good young wrestlers and a couple of great incoming freshman. (Why am I leaving again?)

I would like to thank all of my fellow coaches who have inspired or influenced me over the years. Coach Stovall at Newman left me with a winning program and tons of support. Coach Shelton at Valley Center has taught me more about coaching then I think he ever realized. Coach Garcia at Hutchionson has inspired me beyond measure. And the fraternity of Wichtia City league coaches has been a constant source of support.

Thank you and good luck.
