Coach Ed Hummel ✝Coach Hummel was Marist before there was a Marist. In 1960, Ed Hummel arrived at St. Francis High School and served as a one-man athletic department, coaching football, basketball and baseball. Those duties were divided when the school became Marist in 1968, with Hummel at the helm as Head Coach of baseball and serving as an Assistant Coach for basketball and football. Hummel enjoyed being an assistant most of all as it allowed him to create impactful relationships with student-athletes. Along with coaching, Hummel taught a variety of subjects: American history, world history, accounting, personal finance, physical education, government and math. That led to some memorable nicknames from students, including Driver’s Ed, Phys. Ed and Overhead Ed, for his love of the overhead projector. His teaching and coaching career spanned 56 years, and his contributions and dedication to Marist are unprecedented and unquantifiable. Even in “retirement” and despite numerous health issues, Hummel was on the sideline for every Marist football practice and game, faithful as ever. A 2015 celebration held in his honor featured the unveiling of the Ed Hummel Sports Complex sign which now proudly stands at Marist’s southern entrance of campus. On June 2, 2017, Hummel passed away at the age of 86.
