Coach Rozum Bids Farewell

Ed Rozum,

(Class of 1971)

has stepped

down as

Memorial High

School’s varsity

football coach.

Rozum

returned in

2014 for his 4th stint as head coach. His debut in

1978 was highlighted by a Campbell Memorial win

over Cardinal Mooney, which ignited Red Devil

football domination in the mid 1980’s under his

second tenure as head coach. Rozum and his team of

coaches and talented players solidified their place in

history by reaching the Division III state final game in

1989. Rozum again took his team to the Division IV

semi-finals in 1990.

Rozum ended his 2nd stint in 1993 only to return for

the 1999 season when he again took the Red Devils

to the playoffs.

Under his helm, Coach Rozum's teams made the state

playoffs six times, won conference championships

four times, and finished undefeated in the regular

season twice.

As a teacher, coach, athletic director, and principal,

Ed Rozum will always be remembered as a champion.

We thank you for your service and dedication to the

students of Campbell Memorial and for all of those

Friday night football memories!

mentors and friends.
