In a bit of shocking news this offseason, West Perry is searching for a new wrestling coach.Friday night, West Perry athletic director Cory Hoffman confirmed that 21-year veteran head coach Roger Austin's position was opened following the completion of the 2009-10 season in March.
Hoffman said he has accepted applications from interested candidates and will begin an interviewing process soon. One of those applicants is Austin himself, who hopes to return as wrestling coach. Austin (right) plans to continue teaching physical education at West Perry regardless of the ultimate decision.
"I'm not the best wrestling coach or the most knowledgeable but I know how to make it work at West Perry," Austin said. "If they want to go in another direction ... I've heard of that happening in professional and college sports but I don't hear of that too much in high school."
