Coach Cover to Leave Louisville (6-4-08)
Charlie Cover, Louisville High School head wrestling and track and field coach, has resigned his teaching post to accept a position in the Elmwood-Murdock school system.

Coach Cover was an assistant track coach for three years, working specifically with the high jumpers, before accepting the head coaching duties for the Lions’ girls and boys track and field squads the past two seasons. Cover was also the assistant varsity wrestling coach and middle school wrestling coach for five years before taking over the head coaching duties after longtime coach, Brett Shuler, left for Plattsmouth this past year.

At Elmwood-Murdock, Cover anticipates assisting with the Knight football and track programs while teaching middle school social studies, pre-algebra and technology classes.

“I have worked with some excellent coaches that have taught me a ton and some even better staff members,” said Cover. ”There are many people that don't seem to get the credit  they deserve.”

A fixture on the mats for the past six years, Cover will now have some free weekends since E-M doesn’t offer high school wrestling.

“I really don't know what I'm going to do with myself come Saturdays this coming winter,” said Cover.
