Coaching change

Unless you are talking Penn State football, there aren’t many programs that can say they’ve only had a few coaches over the history of their program.
That can be said of the highly successful Donegal High School wrestling program. Since the sports inception about 50 years, they’ve had four head coaches, all successful in their own way.
Walt Price started the program, then turned the stewardship over to Gene Funk, then to John Felix and most recently to Dan Bechtold.
The former standout wrestler at Hempfield High School and Elizabethtown College is ending a highly successful four-year run as the Indians’ mat boss. Bechtold’s resignation was confirmed Monday by Athletic Director Ron Kennedy.

I guess when your handed down team graduates and you move to AAA it makes it very easy to step down or move on.
