Lucas Baker of Abilene, Kansas was promoted to Head Wrestling Coach at Shawnee Mission East High School. Lucas takes over from Ben Sutherland, after serving last year as Bens Head Assistant Coach. Coach Sutherland has decided to accept a fantastic opportunity to become an assistant principle at Turner High School, and we all wish him the best!

Coach Baker comes from good stock! His father was the head wrestling coach at Silver Lake High School in Topeka, Ks for 25 years. Coach Baker wrestled in college for Labette County and placed 3rd in state his senior year of high school, as well as being a wrestler on two consecutive State Champion Teams his junior and senior years.

We here at Shawnee Mission East are looking forward to at least a 25 year epic run that matches his fathers example grin Please join us in wishing Coach Baker success in his first head coaching position!
