Copperas Cove HS head baseball coach C.J. Wilk Resigns
Copperas Cove High School head baseball coach C.J. Wilk announced that he is resigning his post effective immediately due to family reasons.
"I've been coaching for 15 years now," he said. "I want to spend more time with my family and develop myself as a teacher."
During his time leading the Bulldawg baseball team, Wilk also worked tirelessly with the Copperas Cove Parks and Recreation Department, helping organize its program and also put in time assisting the Cove Hounds, a select program with teams playing in the 8-U, 10-U and 11-U divisions.
"We greatly appreciate what C.J. and his wife (S.C. Lee Junior High former assistant coach Christy Wilk) have done for our programs," Copperas Cove ISD athletic director Jack Welch said.
"They have been a joy to work with. Now, we'll open the position up and take applications to get someone on board as soon as possible."
Wilk said he hopes to stay in Copperas Cove as a teacher, but won't forget the Bulldawgs.
"Being a head coach in Copperas Cove is like nowhere else," Wilk said. "Working with Jack Welch, Tracy Welch and Reb Brock has been a tremendous honor. I'll be in the stands on game nights cheering them on."
