Westwood’s Crook winding down exemplary career
By Les Willsey, Tribune
Mesa Westwood girls volleyball coach Steve Crook has between one and four matches left in his coaching tenure for the Warriors. If and when the Warriors lose a match between Wednesday and next Tuesday, that will be it for a guy who has given much more than he’s taken as a coach of local high school athletes.
Taking over at Westwood in 1992 Crook will leave with at least one state title (1994) and a pair of runner-up finishes. But along with being a great Xs and Os mentor, Crook’s development of Club Red and the tutelage he has offered to kids from Westwood and all over the East Valley with Club Red has been extraordinary.
Crook is the consummate professional and as good as it gets as an ambassador for his sport. He truly has given much more than he’s taken. Hats off to a a guy who embodies all things good as a coach and educator.

My mom was the one that suggested that Steve coach for W.W.because they had a bad coach for my sister, and he was coaching summer ball,and so he took her advice and became the head coach,and my mom didnt have enough money to pay the monthly dues,so she just helped out at the snack bar,and she might have pd. as much as she could, but anyways my sister got a full ride scholarship for volleyball, and just want to thank COACH CROOK FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!
