Biography

Marzuola’s Highland Park team set high standards in wrestling’s first year as a state association-sanctioned sport in Texas, winning the state dual and individual championships. His teams have gone 64-0 over the past two seasons (’98 and ’99) in winning back to back dual titles, including 33-0 this season by an average winning margin of 66 points, a national record.

Marzuola’s journey at Highland Park High School started in 1982 when he came to teach social studies, coach football and start a wrestling program. No one knew the legacy he’d create.

Marzuola stepped away from Highland Park and coaching in 2007 after 25 years to accept a position at Summerville High School in Charleston, South Carolina. After six years, Marzuola returned to HPHS in 2013 to take the lead once again.
