Edward Stech was head coach at West Allis Central from 1956 to 1975.

Before that he worked with the wrestling program at North High School in Omaha, Nebraska.

He was inducted into the inaugural class of the Wisconsin Wrestling Coaches Association George Martin Hall of Fame in 1977 and won a 20-year service award presented by the association.

Stech is also a charter member of the Milwaukee Suburban Wrestling Coaches Association and served as secretary, treasurer and historian for the organization.

He is a member of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, the Wisconsin AAU Wrestling Committee, the United States Wrestling Federation and the Wisconsin Weigh-In Club.

Stech served as secretary of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association wrestling rules advisory committee from 1966 to 1969 while also assisting at two Olympic Trials at the University of Wisconsin Madison.

He was associated with the Junior Olympic wrestling program in the Milwaukee area and served as co-director of the West Allis 16-team invitational wrestling tournament.

His teams won 91 of the 228 matches they wrestled. While not a winning record, the results are still the same, being an influential part of a boy becoming a man.
