As you may
already know, Coach Ed Luksik passed away on 11/24/07. Deer Park
Wrestling will be giving out a scholarship each year in his name as the
Ed Luksik Alumni Scholarship. Coach Luksik started both the wrestling
and kid wrestling programs in Deer Park many years ago and coached there
for over 35 years. He loved wrestling and continued to enjoy it
even after retiring from coaching. He traveled the country and the
world to watch this sport that he loved. He had a special bond with his
alumni wrestlers. On December 14, 2007, Deer Park Wrestling hosted the
First Annual Ed Luksik Classic to honor him and Deer Park High School
dedicated it's wrestling room in his name. It was a very special night.
If
