Three-time Northern Lakes Conference coach of the year Scott DeHart announced his resignation as head wrestling coach at Wawasee High School on Monday. DeHart is leaving behind a Wawasee program that has won the NLC championship the past two seasons.The Warriors have a 65-41-1 record in his eight years as coach and have had two individual state champions in Chris Requego (1992) and Jason Carr (1998). Among the many achievements the Wawasee wrestling team accomplished in DeHart's time as coach was a semistate championship in 1997 by knocking off No.2 Bellmont. "There are so many memorable moments, but that one stands out in my memory," DeHart said."That team had beaten us earlier in the year.They hadn't lost for 20 or 21 years in their home gym and it's great to go into a lion's den and slay a lion." DeHart cites family commitments as his reason for leaving the coaching position.He will continue to teach in the physical education department at Wawasee.
