WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL’S CHAD SHEPHERD WINS 2023 INDIANAMAT 2A COACH OF THE YEAR

Writer / Natalie Platt

It almost makes too much sense that Chad Shepherd has won the 2023 IndianaMat 2A Coach of the Year award, in his 23rd year of coaching at Western High School. His resume while at Western is a highlight reel of what most coaches only dream of - a 2A team state duals championship, a sectional championship, Hoosier Conference championships (six consecutive years), and the seventh consecutive year with at least one state qualifier, during nine out of the last 10 years.

To top it off, Shepherd had his first girls state qualifiers (four), and first-ever girls state place winner (third) in Kyndal

Mellady. The girls wrestling team is off to an excellent start, with 10 members of the team at the high school level and around 20 members in lower grades. With interest building, Shepherd is confident the girls program is off to a great start and will continue to grow.

“Now I am coaching men and women, and just being able to watch these young kids grow and go on to become successful people after high school is very rewarding,” Shepherd says.

Shepherd’s career had a stop at Carroll High School, where he spent three seasons as

the head wrestling coach and two seasons as an assistant football coach. After leaving Carroll, Shepherd continued the rest of his career with Western High School, where he also helps coach the club wrestling team and football.

His success was built upon a strong foundation of wrestling coaches before him. Shepherd wrestled for Hall of Fame Coach Bob Jarrett, and spent one season as a volunteer coach at Lafayette Jefferson with Coach Bill Andrews.

“Coach Andrews left a positive impression on me for the way he ran his program,”

Shepherd says. “I also spent one season volunteering under Brett Colby at Frankfort High School, which led to me coaching at Carroll. I would say being around an extremely successful group of coaches that have undoubtedly left an impression on me was the best form of mentorship. I have been very fortunate over the last 26 years to be able to surround myself with coaches that not only care about the sport, but also care about the kids.”

Shepherd hopes to leave the same impression on the kids he coaches.

“I just want them to see that if you work hard and commit yourself to something, you can do anything,” he says. “For every person it isn’t always about winning championships. Sometimes it is just about finishing the game.”

And seeing the kids he coaches grow and come up through the wrestling program is what keeps Shepherd coming back, year after year.

“Kids want to be acknowledged, kids want to learn and kids want to know you care,” he says.

Two of Shepherd’s own children wrestled in high school, surely learning from their father - Donavan, who now plays baseball at Marian University, and Hayden, who wrestles for Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. His youngest two, Dake and Summitt, both wrestle for the club team.

When Shepherd talks about what he is most proud of and how he got here, he is quick to credit his family.

“It is by no means a one-man show,” he says. “The support I get from my wife, Cheyenne, my kids and the rest of my family has been a huge blessing. It takes a village and the Western wrestling program has been lucky to have so many great people involved. The coaches, athletes and community involvement are what makes it so much like a family environment. It has been a wonderful experience to be around so many terrific people.”

KATHIE LAYDEN RETIRING AFTER STANDOUT BASKETBALL COACHING CAREER

Area headlines in recent months have read like a farewell tour for Kathie Layden, one of the greatest Indiana basketball coaches of all time. But to Layden, it’s never been about the wins or losses - and there have been a lot of wins. In fact, Layden never looked at her career as being a coach. She viewed it as being a teacher (now dean of students at Howard Elementary).

“Coaching has always been the hobby that I have been fortunate enough to do for the past 24 years,” Layden says. “The best part has always been the relationships that are made and seeing the girls succeed in life.”

After 11 years at Northwestern, and as this hobby, as Layden affectionately calls it, comes to an end, she reflects on memories that have stuck out to her, what she’s looking forward to most in retirement, and, most importantly,

how the game has kept her family close.

“Probably something most people don’t know or remember is that my brother, Mike Wise, was also coaching alongside me and my dad the first year we won the state championship at Tri-Central,” she says. “My dad has always been coaching with me, for not only basketball, but he is my assistant coach for the women’s varsity tennis team as well.”

Layden is also a successful coach on the tennis courts. Northwestern has won six sectionals in a row and hasn’t lost a regular-season dual match in six years.

Layden’s husband has been coaching with her for 13 years as well, and her daughters, Madison and McKenna, have been to more basketball practices and games than Layden could ever count. This is part of the reason why both daughters are successful basketball players themselves. Madison is a junior guard at Purdue and McKenna is a Purdue recruit. Events like scouting, practices and games became family outings, yet they don’t talk about sports at home as much as people would think.

“Growing up with my dad coaching multiple sports at Taylor High School, the idea of shooting in the driveway, playing tennis, volleyball, even throwing a frisbee or football, playing catch, badminton, swimming, was how I grew up,” Layden says. “Madison and McKenna have been the same. It has definitely kept us all close. When our family gets together we play kickball, fish, spikeball, board games, you name it. Anything that we can all do together.”

Time spent with her family will look

slightly different in the coming days and months, and Layden is appreciative of those who helped her juggle it all during her coaching career. She credits her mom for taking the kids to practices when they were younger and wherever else they needed to go when Layden and her husband were coaching.

“The love and support we have always had from our family and friends has made it possible to juggle things as life happens,” Layden says.

Layden will miss seeing her players and other assistant coaches on a regular basis. Going to practice never felt like a chore to her, but rather a reward, and she always looked forward to those hours spent in the gym.

“I have always enjoyed that side of coaching, the time spent in practice, more than the games even,” she says. “Having fun at practice, that’s where the memories stand out to me.”

Layden will create new memories this year, though. She’s excited to watch her own daughters play.

“I am looking forward to watching the girls and traveling to more of their away games,” she says. “We have been fortunate over the past few years that we have been able to attend so many of their games, but now we want to be at all of them if possible. I love watching them and I just always tell them how proud I am of them, win or lose.”

Because, to Kathie Layden, it’s never been about the wins or losses. It’s about showing that you can have fun, create memories and be successful at the same time.
