The William Morello Sr. Memorial Scholarship – Est. 2025
Bill Morello Sr. was a tireless coach and advocate for boys and girls wrestling in Western New York for over 40 years. In April, 2025 Bill passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. For over two years, Bill fought his cancer privately with the grit and toughness of a wrestler. During this time, Bill continued his duties as a coach at Lockport High School without missing a beat. His death came as a surprise to many as most were unable to tell that there was anything wrong with Coach Sr. throughout his battle. Nickel City Duals is proud to award 2 annual scholarships beginning in 2025 in memory of Coach Bill Morello Sr. to a male and female senior wrestler who displays grit, heart, and a true passion for the sport of wrestling.
