Athletic Roots

Larry Wheeler is a person of integrity and honesty who has been involved in sports for many years. He has set goals for himself and for his players throughout the many seasons of playing on a team or coaching a variety of athletic teams at the high school level. He is a man who demands 100% from his players every time they step on the field and expects nothing less. His name is respected and held with high regard within the sports community of Delaware.

Larry Wheeler began his career in sports in the small, rural town of Hancock, Maryland where he played baseball, basketball and football. During his summers as a youngster, he played for many traveling baseball teams and gained much experience as a pitcher heading towards perfection.

Wheeler then headed towards collegiate life with a baseball scholarship at Elizabethtown College to continue his academic and athletic way of life. While playing baseball for Elizabethtown, he broke the record for most wins during a season and most career wins in baseball. After four years of studying and playing ball, Wheeler graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Education degree. He left college aiming to coach his own baseball team and to teach business education at the high school level.

Coach Wheeler found what he was looking for at Claymont High School in Claymont, Delaware in September of 1969. Over the next fourteen years, Wheeler broke many records within the baseball community of Claymont. He emphasized hard work and the guidance to become a future member of a college or university after high school graduation for all his promising athletes. He led his team to become "Flight B" Champions nine out of fourteen seasons and continued to win the state championship in baseball in 1973. In 1981, Coach Wheeler guided the Claymont football team to many victories for the next nine years as the head football coach. Over all the years of coaching his players, he also had time to take charge of the entire high school athletic teams as the school athletic director for six years. Wheeler took pride in his young athletes as he coached other sports including wrestling, basketball, and track. Throughout the twenty-five seasons of coaching during twenty-one years, Wheeler taught history and business education to the many students of Claymont High School. In June of 1990, Claymont High School closed down and Wheeler was looking forward to a promising future of developing many more students into collegiate athletes.

In September of 1990, Coach Wheeler was assigned to teach at Brandywine High School and to also coach the football team. During his first out of nine years as head coach at BHS, the team took the title of "Flight A" Champions. As the head baseball coach, Wheeler led the baseball team to many victories and became State Champions in 2002. After coaching twenty-one seasons at Brandywine High School, he retired from teaching in 2001 and resigned from coaching after his exciting win in the state championship game. During this magnificent season, Wheeler was also inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame of Delaware. Over the span of his many years as a teacher and coach, Wheeler has coached sixty-six seasons of various sports.

Coach Larry Wheeler has led many athletes to a winning season in their lives. He has not only been a demanding coach to his players, but also a confidant and mentor to many young adults. He has developed many young men into thriving athletes in college and a few in the major leagues. Larry Wheeler is a man who demands 100% from all of his players and will settle for nothing less. His love for the game continues as he strives towards new journeys and winning seasons in the future. -Meg Wheeler Wrubel
