N.C. wrestling coach Nosbisch loses 2-year cancer battle

TDR Editor; Our condolences to the family and school of Coach Nosbisch. We are sad to see his passing from our ranks. Cancer is a rough opponent with no mercy or compromise. I believe we all have lost at least one loved one to this disease which is discouraging. Yet we do what we can, when we can and hope that this improves. Be good to one another.

Nick Nosbisch, North Carolina teacher and wrestling coach, has lost his two-year battle with cancer. The 29-year-old passed away Friday morning. Affectionately known by his students and wrestlers as “Coach Noz,” Nosbisch was a social studies teacher and head wrestling coach at Holly Springs High School in the Raleigh-Durham area. Just two years ago, he coached Cam Devers to the school’s first-ever North Carolina state wrestling title, and took the Golden Hawks to runner-up status at the dual-meet playoffs in Class 4A for the first time in history. It was about that time that Nosbisch learned he had intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of bile duct cancer. It was in Stage 4 and had spread to his lymph nodes, though not to other parts of his body. Less than two weeks after that diagnosis, Nosbisch had surgery to remove the tumor. In May 2017, Nosbisch was awarded the N.C. High School Athletic Association’s A.J. “Tony” Simeon Courage Award at its annual meeting.
