Edward Leo “Eddie” Wolski Jr., age 75, of Round Rock, passed away on September 3, 2021. Eddie was born on October 21, 1945, in Big Spring, Texas, to parents, Edward Leo Wolski and Lettress Montez Lovvorn-Owens. He was raised by Lillie Odessa and Charles Wilson Lovvorn in Coahoma, TX.

Eddie graduated from Coahoma High School in 1965, and it was during this time in high school, where he exceled as an all-district offensive and defensive tackle, that he realized his love of football and coaching that he would carry with him his entire life. It’s also during this time that he met his mentor and lifelong friend Spike Dykes, who helped him early in his career get his first coaching job. After graduation, Eddie went on to Angelo State University where he played football until a shoulder injury ended his playing career. His passion for learning was always present and he went on to earn a Master’s degree in Education from Sul Ross University in 1986.

It was also during his time at Angelo State that he met and married the love of his life, Diala. They met in 1966 and married in August 1967 at First Baptist Church in Andrews, TX. Eddie and Diala’s early life together was an adventure, as he was the head coach at Shallowater from 1974 to 1978 after assistant jobs at Alice, Mexia and Odessa Permian. Wolski then went to Midland Lee where he was an assistant football and head track and cross-country coach from 1978-1988. He helped coach a Lee team that advanced to the 1983 state championship game and also coached in the 1989 THSCA All-Star Game. During this time, he also served on the THSCA Track Advisory Committee and Texas High School Coaches Association Board of Directors. He later served as the Assistant Executive Vice President for the THSCA for 15 years. His many duties included supervising the exhibition hall and the TSHCA All-Star camp at the association’s annual coaching school; He finished the last 15 years of his career with the University Interscholastic League (UIL) first as a Waiver Officer, and for the past few years as special assistant to Dr. Charles Breithaupt, the Executive Director of the University Interscholastic League (UIL).
