Influential, Selfless, and Faithful: these are three words that would describe Judy (Merrill) Metz, CHS 1973. Judy is an outstanding candidate for the Hall of Fame because she personifies the qualities of what this Hall of Fame represents.

For over 35 years, Judy has played an influential role in the lives of her students, athletes, and coworkers. She coached multiple sports and knew how to maintain the balance of hard work, respect and fun. She had the innate ability to make each athlete feel they belonged and that they had a purpose with a role to play on the team. To this day, when she meets a former player or parent they always reminisce about how much fun it was to be part of her team.
