LakeVille Falcons Wrestling proudly announces Jimmy Colley II as the 11th Head Coach in program history.

A respected educator, mentor, and leader, Coach Colley has dedicated his life to developing young people and building strong communities. His impact on LakeVille Wrestling has been felt at every level of the program, helping build a culture founded on hard work, accountability, character, and family.

"For years, Jimmy has been instrumental in building the program. Now, he will lead the future."
— Dan Huggler, Retired Head Coach

An Occupational Therapist with more than 25 years of experience and a current Intervention Specialist at LakeVille High School, Colley has spent his career helping students and athletes reach their full potential. As Club Director and a year-round mentor to Falcon wrestlers, he has been instrumental in strengthening the foundation of the program and fostering a championship mindset throughout the wrestling room. His dedication earned him the 2024 Michigan Wrestling Association Volunteer Coach of the Year Award.
Coach Colley has also helped cultivate one of LakeVille Wrestling's proud family legacies. Alongside his wife, Stacy, he has raised four children—Jewell, Jimmy III, Jacy, and Jhett—who have all been deeply involved in the program.

The Colley family's service and leadership have left a lasting impact on the LakeVille community, earning them the 2025-26 Martin-Schunot Community Service Award.

Today, LakeVille Wrestling enters a new era under a leader who has invested countless hours in our athletes, our culture, and our future.
Built on tradition. Driven by purpose. Led by family.

My name is Brett McCall, and I am honored to serve as the principal of LakeVille Middle School. I bring more than 26 years of experience in education, having worked as a middle school science teacher, assistant principal, instructional technologist, and most recently as Dean of Students here at LakeVille Middle School.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and my Master's Degree in K-12 Educational Administration. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about creating a safe, structured, and student-centered learning environment where all students are supported academically, socially, and emotionally.

I grew up at North Lake and graduated from Millington High School, so serving at LakeVille Middle School truly feels like coming home. This community has always held a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the area that helped shape who I am today.

I believe that strong relationships, consistent expectations, and open communication are essential to student success. I look forward to partnering with our students, staff, families, and community to build a school culture where everyone feels supported, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential. I am excited for the opportunities ahead and grateful to be part of such a supportive and caring community.

I look forward to meeting and working with all of you. Go Falcons!
