Marchette named wrestling head coach at Notre Dame College

TDR Editor’s Notes ; Our congratulations to Sonny in his new challenge. We were able to talk with Coach Romano just after the Nationals in Cleveland. He was as enthusiastic and positive as when I last met him decades ago. He also spoke well of Coach Marchette and mentioned that he was glad he had been working with him for a long time.

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – Notre Dame College Director of Athletics, Scott Swain, has named former assistant coach, Sonny Marchette, the new Head Coach of Notre Dame wrestling. Marchette will take over after the previous head coach, Frank Romano retired earlier this week. “Hiring Sonny Marchette to lead Falcon Wrestling is an easy decision,” Swain said. “Sonny has shown great ability as an assistant coach and I am certain the level of excellence Falcon Wrestling has had will continue on his watch. The future is very bright and I am excited for all our wrestling student-athletes.”
 
Marchette has been with Notre Dame since 2012 when he started with the Falcons as a volunteer. Since then, he was promoted to the second assistant coach position before most recently serving as the head assistant coach.
“Anthony Ralph and Coach Romano gave me this opportunity in 2012, and I am very grateful to have continued my career at Notre Dame,” Marchette said. “I am thrilled to be the head coach at a place I love. Since coming to NDC, I have started back to school part time, had another child and bought a house. To stay here and continue the growth of this program is very exciting.
