HIGHLAND PARK, Texas — The Highland Park High School Lacrosse program named Mike Pressler as its varsity lacrosse head coach today.
“The HP Lacrosse family is thrilled to welcome Mike and his wife Susan to Highland Park,” said Ryan Moss, Highland Park Lacrosse Board President. “The opportunity to have a coach of Mike’s caliber to lead our boys and program forward is tremendous.”
Pressler becomes only the third Highland Park Lacrosse head coach in the last 20 years. His coaching experience and passion for the game will build upon the Scot’s 27 years of success from Bantam (1st-4th grades) through Youth (5th-8th) and to the High School level.
“I look forward to joining one of the most storied lacrosse programs in the state. Susan and I are truly excited about moving to Texas and joining the Highland Park Scots community,” said Coach Mike Pressler. “The chance to coach high school and lead a program like Highland Park is a great privilege and an opportunity to give back to a game that has meant so much to me. I look forward to developing not only lacrosse players, but also young men who can be leaders on and off the field.”
Coach Pressler recently retired as the head coach of Bryant University where he led the Bryant Bulldogs to national prominence. Prior to his 16 seasons at Bryant, Coach Pressler was the head coach at Duke University for 16 seasons, and prior to Duke, he served as the head coach at Ohio Wesleyan.
