Head Boys Basketball Coach Email Phone: 715-877-1060
Hello, my name is Rick Storlie and I am entering my 30th year here at Fall Creek Public School District. I currently am teaching Physical Education in grades 4 - 12. I also was named our new Athletic Director. Prior, I was the Health Education Instructor in the middle and high school for 19 years. I was also the distict's Driver's Education teacher for nearly twenty years as well!
Along with my teaching duties, I am the Varsity Boys Basketball Coach. I also had been the head baseball coach in Fall Creek for the past 25 seasons. I resigned that position after the 2013 season. Prior to that I was junior varsity baseball coach for three seasons. In my 28 seasons wearing a Cricket uniform, I was a part of 300 victories. I was fortunate enough to take two teams to the WIAA State Baseball Tournament. We finished Class C State Runners up in 1989 and lost in the WIAA Division 3 State Semi-finals in 1998.
I will be starting my 17th season as Head Boys Basketball coach of the Crickets Before that, I was an assistant in the girl's basketball program for 13 years under the guidance of Arnie Skrukrud. Last season, the Crickets posted a 17-7 record and were Conference Co- Champions. I have been a part of four state tournament teams. Three in girl's basketball (94, 96, 98) Winning a state championship in 1996 and state runners up in 1994 and 1998. My boys' team in 2009 made the school's first boys state tournament appearance since 1985. We lost to eventual state champion Racine St. Catherine's in the semi-finals. What a great experience for all of us it was!
Was also a part of the football coaching staff here for 12 seasons. I coached middle school football and assisted at the varsity level. I was a a part of our back to back WIAA State Championships at Camp Randall. What a great time and wonderful memories!
My wife Julie and I have three children: Holly (Dale), Matthew and Michelle (Utecht) . All graduated from Fall Creek High School and wore the Cricket uniform with pride. Since being hired in 1985, I have lived in Fall Creek. Julie and I enjoy the town and the people very much. We are proud to be Crickets! Go Big Green!!!
