SIDNEY – Jerry Langdon is returning to the coaching ranks. The onetime head wrestling coach at Sidney High School will be assuming the same roll for the 2022-2023 season. Langdon, who was Sidney’s head coach from 1977 through 1979, has never strayed very far from the program. Over the years, he has been an assistant coach off and on at both the high school and middle school levels. He began his coaching career in Lexington in 1969.

Langdon is excited to be coming back home to coach the sport that hold his heart. "I like helping kids learn how to wrestle and show them techniques that I think have been successful,” Landon said. “I really like showing them how to develop their skills. I am excited to help the kids be the best they can be."

Langdon, who was a state wrestling champion for Sidney at 120 lbs. in 1961, will have only one state qualifier returning for next season.
