Jack Sinnott has compiled an admirable record both as a coach and as an official. The father of the wrestling program at Iroquois Junior-Senior High School, Sinnott endured 25 straight losses from the program 's inception in 1964. Once that first win came, Iroquois seldom lost again as Sinnott's teams went 150-50-2 during his 13-year coaching career. His teams were Erie County League champions in 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972. They finished second in 1968 and 1973. They were Big Eight Champions in 1969, 1971 and 1973, placing second in 1970, 1972, & 1974. Iroquois won the Section One tournament title three years straight, 1969 through 1971, placing second in 1968 and 1972. In the 1969 Section tournament seven Iroquois wrestlers won titles, which is an area record. Jack coached one four-time Section One champion, Tom Turnbull. In all, Coach Sinnott coached 22 individual Section champions, 10 District champions, 5 Central Northwest Region champions, and 2 PIAA tournament runners-up. He was Section One Coach-of-the-Year in 1971 and 1974. He organized the District X Coaches Association and served as its President for eight years. He retired from coaching in 1977 after coaching wrestling for 13 years and assisting in football for 18. He didn't leave wrestling however, as he has officiated wrestling for 38 years in every level from Metro League on up to the State Tournament level. He also served as the District X Rules Interpreter for 18 years. The wrestling mat wasn't Sinnott's only home. He is quite a handball player, having played for 42 years. He was President of the Erie Handball Club for 12 years, was the Class A singles champion three times and won the Class A doubles tournament once. He has won 28 other tournaments in his career. Sinnott retired from Iroquois in 1993 after a 34-yeaar career as a Science teacher and Guidance Counselor. He lives in Erie, PA.
