    "I am thankful for the opportunity provided to me and look forward to getting back in the wrestling room with the athletes in Shakopee," said Jackson, who served as an assistant coach at Eden Prairie (Minn.) High School prior to becoming Shakopee's coach.

    Jackson served as head wrestling coach at Apple Valley for 17 years, and led the Eagles to two national championships, 14 state championships and coached 60 individual state championships. He amassed a dual meet record of 618-27-3 during his time at Apple Valley.

    "His record, experience and background speak for itself," said John Janke, Shakopee's activities director. "You would be hard pressed to find a more qualified candidate, and I look forward to the positive impact Mr. Jackson will make on an already strong program."
