BATON ROUGE — Legendary high school football coach Willis Stelly has died at age 84.
The long-time University Lab School coach passed on Wednesday, his son Will confirmed.
Stelly coached at U-High from 1980 to 1998, cementing his Cubs legacy with a 1988 state championship win.
U-High said that during Stelly’s tenure, his players earned more than 370 All-District honors, 88 All-Academic honors and two All-American recognitions.
Services will be held at Seale Funeral Home in Denham Springs on Nov. 18, the school said. Visitation will be from noon to 3 p.m., immediately followed by a funeral mass.
His son told WBRZ that Stelly was good friends with fellow Baton Rouge high school football icon Dale Weiner, who also died Wednesday.
