Another Beach District Head Football Coach has decided to step down. The latest to add his name to the growing list of now five out of the city's 11 schools is Bill Stachelski, a man with more victories to his credit than anyone else in Frank W. Cox High's football program history.

Stachelski, 52, announced the news to his team on Monday following a 13-season run that saw him compile an overall record of 88-47. However, he will remain at the Virginia Beach school, just in a different capacity.

"It was one of the most difficult decisions in my life. At the end of the season, I reflect every year. I usually take a couple days or a week to see where I am in life, how coaching affects my family and always decide to continue on," Stachelski told VirginiaPreps.com.

It wasn't until several days ago that Stachelski decided to leave coaching football and take over as the Head Golf Coach at Cox, which has seven team State Championship appearances with three titles in that sport dating back to 1989.

"That was unexpected," Stachelski noted of the golf opening. "Coupled with the fact that I was able to see my son, Jacob Rodriguez, graduate this year because he's a senior, it really convinced me that the time was right. I think that's the message I was getting upstairs. It was a difficult ZOOM that I had with my players about an hour ago, but we got through it and I think it's best for everyone."
