Alex MorangMorang is a 2011 graduate of nearby Richmond High School, then later served as a volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater from 2013-15. He was on three state championship teams (2010-12) during his time with the program.
"We are thrilled to have Alex join our team," said SC4 athletic director Dale Vos. "He brings excitement and enthusiasm for SC4 and for wrestling. As a state champion and a college wrestler, his experience with Richmond wrestling, Olivet College wrestling and Grand Valley wrestling will help the SC4 program get off to a great start."
Morang's high school coach also weighed in.
"Alex Morang will do a great job at SC4," Richmond coach Brandon Day said. "He has extremely high character and outstanding work ethic. He is a student of the sport and has great passion for helping kids.
"SC4 and the parents of future recruits will find that Alex is more than just another coach that loves wrestling and winning, but rather a mentor that loves helping student-athletes reach their potential in life."
Morang himself is eager to start building the new wrestling program at St. Clair County Community College.
"I feel like I'm about to wrestle in the state finals right now," Morang said. "I'm really excited to have an impact on some people's lives and give people in this area a chance to wrestle collegiately that they haven't had before.
"We have so much good talent in this area that hasn't had a chance to go anywhere and this is going to give those guys an opportunity to really change their lives. I'm honored to be the guy that is taking the task of getting these guys to where they want to be."
The new wrestling program at SC4, which was announced in April, will take to the mats for the first time this fall.
St. Clair County Community College is located in Port Huron, just northeast of the Detroit metropolitan area in the Blue Water region of Michigan. The school, founded in 1923, has an enrollment of approximately 8,8
