REARDAN-Two varsity high school coaches are leaving their posts. Longtime head wrestling coach Rick Perleberg and inaugural girls soccer coach Brian Scott both resigned from their positions in letters accepted by the school board Wednesday, May 25.

Perleberg, who said he is just retiring from the position and not from his teaching career, has been the head coach since 2015 and worked with the wrestling program since his arrival with the district in 1999.

In that time he's coached over 100 athletes that made the state tournament, 92 state medallists, 20 state champions and 27 state runner-ups.

"This is among the most difficult decisions I've made in my life," Perleberg said in his resignation letter. "However, this will have little effect upon our athletes. They are strong. It will have little effect upon the program. It is in great hands."

He added that he will make himself available to assist the wrestling program in other ways as the district needs.

Scott, meanwhile, coached the soccer program through its first two seasons, one of which was a shortened and odd COVID-19 year in 2020-21.

In the first full season of the program, the team made the state quarterfinals after a fourth-seeded run through the NE2B district tournament and a playoff victory at Onalaska.

Scott, who also resigned as head security officer recently, is moving to South Carolina and therefore leaving the district.

A replacement coach for either position hadn't been announced by press time.
