"COACH" VERL PETSCH TO RETIRE
"Coach" Verl Petsch has announced his retirement from Eastern Wyoming College at the end of this academic year. The long, time coach and athletic director has spent 43 years at EWC, coaching,teaching, and overseeing the college's athletic programs.

       Coach developed the volleyball program in the 1970's and served as the head coach for 40 years. During that time he compiled 1085 wins to 699 losses and won six Region lX championships. The Lady Lancers went to the nation juco volleyball tournament seven times (once at-large bid) and had three fifth place finishes at nationals. They also placed eighth twice.

       Over the 40 years, the volleyball program has had nineteen athletic All-American players and seventy-seven academic All-Americans with two possible this year.

       Verl began the athletic director duties in the fall of 1979, giving him 34 years in that capacity. And five years during his tenure he helped establish and coach women's basketball at EWC. It is no surprise why the EWC board named the gymnasium area of the college the Verl Petch Jr. Activities Center.

                                                         CONGRATULATIONS COACH!
