A trailblazing wrestler for Hall of Fame coach Dr. Vince Monseau, Jeff Carroll also made his mark as an outstanding high school coach. Carroll was a national runner-up at 142 pounds during the 1977 NAIA Nationals in Cheney, Wash. Despite a tough loss in the finals, Carroll made history as just the third West Liberty grappler ever to wrestle for a national title.
After graduating, Carroll coached and taught at Cadiz (Ohio) High School from 1977-80 before moving on to Cambridge (Ohio) High School as head wrestling coach. Carroll developed numerous OVAC and district champions with the Bobcats. His 1982 squad won the OVAC Class AAAA Dual Meet title and OVAC Class AAAA tournament championship while his 1989 team posted a perfect 16-0 dual meet mark.
Carroll also coached the 1994 Cambridge golf team to an Ohio state championship – the school's only state title in any sport – and posted an eye-popping 111-1 meet record as the Bobcats' head golf coach before retiring.
