… to head one of the most storied programs in Pennsylvania.
In a recent conversation, Shane Mack confirmed he has tendered his resignation as head wrestling coach at Manheim Central High School.
Mack, who had been assistant principal at Manheim Central Middle School and then at the High School, wished to return to the classroom.
With no positions open in Manheim, he accepted a teaching position at Hershey High School, beginning with the 2009-10 school term.
“I’m taking a year off from coaching,” he said, “and then we’ll see what happens.”
In four years coaching under one of the sport’s biggest magnifying glass, Mack’s teams were a cumulative 28-30 overall.
He coached eight L-L League tournament champions _ including four in 2006 when Manheim won the team title. He sent 19 qualifiers to the District III tournament and guided seven PIAA State tournament qualifiers.
Perhaps the high point was 2007 when four Barons _ Brock Stoltz, Jared Zeamer, Jordan Enck and Marcus Zimmerman _ qualified for states. Enck and Zimmerman achieved the finals that year, each placing second, and Enck returned to the finals in 2008, winning the state championship.
