Varsity Assistant/ Defensive Backs/Wide Receivers:

John Lush
This is Coach Lush’s 5th year coaching football at Lackey High School.  John originally hails from
Catasauqua, Pa, a small, close-knit community about an hour north of Philadelphia. While in high school,
John was an All-Conference athlete-- lettering in varsity football, wrestling and baseball.  
Coach Lush takes a hard-nosed approach to sports, work and life, which has made him a perfect fit at
Lackey.  Although he is only 29 years old, John has proven his dedication and commitment to success by
earning his Master’s Degree in English Education from the University of Pittsburgh in 2005.  He hopes
his hard work ethic, energy, and ultimately, success will continue on the football field with the Lackey
Chargers. "Coach Lush is a teacher first in his approach to his role not just with the football team, but
also at Lackey High School.  He has the right frame of mind and is on the same page as I am in a
relatively short amount of time.  He is a fantastic role model and leader for our program.”  Coach Lush
currently resides in Bryans Road, MD. When not inside the classroom or on the football field, you can
find Coach Lush cheering on his beloved PHILADELPHIA EAGLES any given Sunday.
