"Coach Dennis Beck, he was like my second dad, for crying out loud," remarked Lorenz, who won 100 matches in his high school career and a sectional championship in 1996 before returning to Lancaster a decade ago as the sixth head coach in the program's 65-year history.

Lorenz would often remind wrestlers and parents that the Lancaster tradition was bigger than any individual.
