Woodland Hills Alum, Former Steeler Publishes Book

Wes Lyons makes his writing debut with 'The Pursuit with Patience.'

Whether or not Wes Lyons will play in the NFL again remains to be seen—he appeared in all four of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2011 preseason games—but his writing career is off and running with the November publishing of his first book, "The Pursuit with Patience." Lyons, a Woodland Hills High School and West Virginia University alum, started writing the book after he was released by the Steelers in 2011. (He ended up back with the team in 2012 but is no longer with them.) The goal of the book, as Lyons says on his website, "is to inspire at least one person." He continues, "That would make all the hard work and time that I have dedicated to writing 'The Pursuit with Patience' worth it in the end." Wesley A. Lyons Jr. was raised in North …

This book is basically self-published (CreateSpace is listed as the publisher on Amazon and it's just a tool for self-publishing) and was therefore not subject to any editorial supervision.

Steelers Nominate Woody High’s Novak for Nat’l Coach of the Year Award

Novak is the only coach in Wolverines history.

Woodland Hills High School defied most pundits’ expectations in 2012 by racking up a 10-3 record and a berth in the WPIAL’s AAAA football championship game at Heinz Field. The Wolverines lost that game by a touchdown to the current state finalists from North Allegheny High School, but the Pittsburgh Steelers—the hosts of Heinz—have seen enough in Woody High’s head coach to include him as one of the 2012 Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year nominees.  Coach George Novak has been with Woodland Hills for 26 seasons and has won six WPIAL titles (five at Woody High). He is the first and only director of athletics for the Woodland Hills School District and head coach of the district’s varsity football program.  Novak and the program have …
