Joe masterfully balances the competitive drive to win with the developmental needs of every team member, fostering a positive culture and a genuine sense of teamwork. His commitment to recreational soccer and the Booster Club has been invaluable, and I eagerly anticipate his continued success as he leads our Lady Huskies into the spring 2025 varsity soccer season. We are fortunate to have such a visionary coach guiding our young athletes."

Throughout his tenure, Coach Wardlow has been instrumental in developing a strong soccer culture in Hemlock, nurturing young talent, and fostering a sense of community and teamwork.

His countless hours of dedication to our youth programs have helped shape not only skilled athletes but also well-rounded individuals. Joe's passion for the game and his ability to connect with players of all ages is truly remarkable. We are immensely grateful for his service and look forward to seeing the positive impact he will continue to have on our high school soccer program."

As Coach Wardlow transitions from his role in the recreation soccer program, the Hemlock Public School District is excited to support him in his continued leadership of the Lady Huskies varsity soccer team.
