Coach Bill Humphrey, former LWHS Coach, Passes Away
Coach Lacy "Bill" Humphrey died on Sunday, August 29, 2010, in Titusville at age 82. He had battled throat cancer for 13 years. "Doctors originally gave him six months,'' his son said. "He was tough. He fooled them.''
Before moving to Brooksville, Coach Humphrey had directed the varsity football program at Lake Worth High. He began his career at Mainland High in his native Daytona Beach. He also coached at Bunnell and Fort Meade in his early career and at Titusville, Rockledge and Cocoa after leaving Brooksville.
Coach Humphrey compiled a 145-58-7 record as a head football coach. He won six district championships in track and field and coached the 1964 Fort Meade boys track field team to a state championship. Coach Humphrey's coaching success earned him a spot in the Florida High School athletic Hall of Fame. He won championships and teacher of the year recognition on several occasions during a 37-year career before retiring in 1994.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Teresa, and four sons: Mike, Marc, Terry and Reid. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Crosswalk Community Church on North Carpenter Road in Titusville.

Lake Worth High School Won't Be Shut Down
Last summer the school received a D grade from the state based on FCAT scores. More than 65 percent of the school's students were not proficient in reading, resulting in Lake Worth High being placed on Florida's "intervene" list for possible staff dismissals or closure.
But the school boosted its FCAT test scores this year and, as of last week, has been taken off the state's list.
"We were really excited," said Kirk Howell, the school's first-year principal. "Once you see a school improving academically, the community will be getting a better product."
