1999 Riverside Coaches and Staff

Head Coach Jim Kirkley

Coach Kirkley has been the Riverside lacrosse coach since 1993, the second year of the program. In 1998 his team won the NCHSLA (public school) championship. He has 15 years of coaching experience in Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina. He played college lacrosse at Bucknell University, where he was a long stick defenseman. He has a master's degree in divinity from Gordon-Conwell Seminary and a Ph.D. from Duke University. Every summer he punishes his aging body by playing in the master's division at the Vail Shootout. He has been known to become agitated at the occasional officiating call, prompting a visiting fan once to exclaim, "This guy's an ordained minister?"

Assistant Coach Glen Estacio

Coach Estacio specializes in offense and the extra-man offense. He played at North Carolina prep powerhouse Durham Academy. In addition to being an offensive expert, he is a stick-stringing wizard. He has a cool and even temperament, which makes him the perfect complement to Coach Kirkley's sometimes fiery demeanor.

Assistant Coach Rick Wooten

Coach Wooten is coaching the Riverside junior varsity for the first year after three years coaching at Brogden Middle School, Riverside's main lacrosse feeder school. Coach Wooten has been a lacrosse official for many years and got many of Riverside's players interested in the game about 10 years ago when he coached a YMCA summer league. Coach Wooten, too, has been known to contest a call now and then.
