These days, four-time WIAA championship coach Bob Lucey is enjoying retirement after a long and successful run coaching football at Curtis High School.

The field in which he roamed for many seasons bears his name. He’s still a hit at alumni parties. He even wrote a book.

And Lucey is going to enjoy another great milestone: Watching one of his former players take the reins of the program.
